Poetry Wasn't Enough - a Triple Limerick
Remember how Daffodil Finnigan
Was determined to never begin-again
Loving a man --
So she constantly ran
From men -- so’s not to fall-in-again!
Well, into her life walked a poet,
Who dug her, and -- meaning to show it --
But easy-to-hate,
And weigh over-wait --
To bolster his chance to not blow it -
Plied her with poetry - sending his best -
Some of them poignant…others in jest…
Showering her with verse,
‘Til she deemed it a curse,
Then she sued him…for being a pest!
