Repetition Required

The dread Pantoum fills me with gloom, Oh! That dreaded repetition! I think that it might spell my doom yet I must fulfill my mission! Oh! That dreaded repetition! I'm fearing for my mental health. Yet I must fulfill my mission! Must I again repeat myself? I'm fearing for my mental health. Again, again, I must repeat! Must I again repeat myself? I guess I must admit defeat. Again, again, I must repeat Oh how I hate to be a bore. I guess I must admit defeat and I can't take it anymore. Oh how I hate to be a bore. I think that it might spell my doom and I can't take it anymore. The dread Pantoum fills me with gloom. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ for : Jared Pickett's The Pantoum Challenge...my apologies but I could not resist!

Very clever, Dory, writing a pantoum about the difficulty of writing in this style. Congratulations on your win in Jared's contest! Love, Carolyn
