Charles Messina Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

My example poem for the contest I'm running.

I'M No Ballerina

My name is Charles Francis Messina 
I can dance - but I'm no - ballerina 
My toes are too small - and I'd tumble and fall 
Then you'd giggle - like a laughing - hyena 


Example: For my contest
