Famous Poet Comp

There once was a poet called Jan
who took the Mick out of her fellow man 
from the size of his ears
to the size of his wedding  gear
she's the limerick writer from the Isle of Man. 


comp entry 16082016 
famous poets could have gone for a keats, kipling etc.
But Im not good enough, so went for a famous poetry soup poet
jan allison the limerick champion .
