A Little Advice For Working Poets

Working poets do not have too much time
Before they know it, it's almost bedtime
   They need a little advice
   So here's a generous slice
Shoot words from your lips, and hope that they rhyme

Great piece of advice, Gershon!! I do private speaking, so the words often retain rhythm.

Thanks, Newton... I imagine that you're a flowing fountain of words both day and night! ~ Peace, Gershon

We won't say explicitly what the rhyme is kicking, Mahtab, but I will indicate that it's at the opposite end of one's face! lol. Thank you, sir! Holiday Joy, Gershon

I got a real kick (and a laugh) out of this! You are the limerick king. Hee hee! It's a Fave. :)

I'm so glad you like this limerick, Evelyn. I tried something new: I wrote the last line first, and lines 1 -4. Seems like it worked alright. Thank you so much for the FAVE and your support, Evelyn. A merry Christmas to you and yours! :) Gershon
