The Greatest Poet Ever

I got to wonderin' the other day who was the greatest poet ever? Was it a guy named Willie Shakespeare or someone much more clever? I thought it over for quite a while just who this guy might be. Then suddenly a light went on! By God, it could be me! So I'm gonna write a Masterpiece. Just you wait and see. It'll be the best poem ever wrote and the author will be me! Everyone from near and far will know my famous name. The poem I write will be so great it will bring me worldwide fame! I'll be chauffeured 'round in limousines and flown in private jets. Everyone will call me "sir" and I'll have no regrets. I'll be treated just like Royalty, No matter where I go. I'll be waited on hand and foot, just to let you know. So when you're in my presence don't you forget to bow, cause I'll be the greatest poet ever, I'm tellin' you right now! That's it - My mind's made up and since I'm gonna be so great, I decided I won't write it now, you're just gonna have to wait! Ralph Taylor 11/8/15

A great write Ralphie! You wrote of the dream of all of us struggling "bards". I guess the only time we will gain fame is after we pass and the kids will get rich off our writes. We both made the top 100 barely! Thx for your fine comments re my win. Don't know if u were aware but Vera passed Jul 19. She had a valiant struggle with Parkinsons disease but I know she now rests in the arms of the Savior. Great to hear from you - Bob

Hola, Ralph, congratulations.... ... by the way I have something to say to all who supported my ANY POEM # 19 contest. Shame on me, Shame on me! Please forgive me, for not taking the time, to CONGRATULATE and adore all the winning poems for a second or third time. I AM VERY LATE:(-- I was a little mad at the world. However, this is my winning list, I will give everyone the same love and support. I'm dropping by with a Copy Paste note from the bottom of my heart. I am sorry, it's not like me, to walk away, as if nothing. Truly, I appreciate every winning poem, and HM. LOVE
