A Missed Opportunity

I hurried home and wrote it down The best poem written yet But exactly where I put it then I seem to now forget. And once the rhyme was written down Out of my mind the meter flew I can’t recreate this masterpiece Where I put it, I wish I knew. This was the one to win me fame A Pulitzer prize at least Pure genius never before achieved On which your eyes should feast. I looked everywhere with much despair But the poem cannot be found I know it’s absurd but take my word With this verse my fortune was bound. If I did it once I can do it again Write the best poem in history So I sat down with pen in hand And got this stupid poem out of me.
