Getting It Right - For Contest

There once was a poet named  Dwight
 Who died while writing one night
 To heaven he went
 But back he was sent
 Until he got  all his rhymes right
                         ----

 * You only live once, but if you do it right once is enough * - Mae West --

Cute one..Enjoyed reading this one today..They say that when we go the wrong way or sin that we keep having to learn lessons until we get it right..It is best to ask ourselves what is it God wants me to learn here and try to go ahead and do it right after one failure..Thanks for the visit to my page..Sara

Oh, no! Will slacker poets really be cast out? LOL Mae West was a hoot and she would have enjoyed this limerick as much as I did. Wishing you success in the contest, Joe! Hugs, carolyn
