I’m being accosted by five lines in search of a poet. They’re gonna request I turn them into a limerick, I just know it. But I fear that their end rhymes are totally wrong, and that three of the lines are just too wordy and long. “Sorry, guys! You need to find yourselves a better poet, cuz if I try ~ I just know I’m gonna blow it.”
