Retinoblastoma Horn Limerick

Retinoblastoma Horn Limerica
All full of Horn Hysteria

Was a wild woman named Aroma
Not having slightest needing a diploma
What she did seemed to be stupid
Take an arrow possessed by Cupid
Hit daughter's eye causing a retinoblastoma.

Ho Ho

Jim Horn

Anyone can enter it in any contest they want to.
I have a great idea. Have Poetry Soup invent a
program that automatically screens each poem
and enters it into appropriate contest or actually
creates a test that it should be entered in.

Appreciate you saying that. It hit a nerve, but didn't bother me deeply, just mostly providing the feedback. My son is OK, BTW. :-)

Not to be over-burdening, but also noticed you are one of my FAV's. Welcome aboard.

Tom, Sometimes it seems like God is not fair. Poetry Soup is a great from of sublimation and relief from pressure and anxiety. Just wanted you to know I am a concerned citizen. Thanks for your fast response.

Not to be too much of a wet blanket, but as a doc and as a parent who waited six weeks for a biopsy result from one of my kids' eyes, I find retinoblastoma, and cancer in general, to be a bit unfunny.

Truly forgive me. I did pick it out as an impressive word. Today I just found my best man is dying of carcinoma from agent orange. He was stationed in Thailand in 1965 while he was a medic in Air Force. He was to be 75 on March 23d. He is a pharmacist who graduated from Kansas University. Again, I am truly sorry.

James, is this the one you want to enter? You have to do one with your name.you have to start out: I once knew a poet named James (or you could use Jim) Don't you know how to do the contests? you need to study and find out. You go to the contest page and find all the contests. then after you post a poem , you can submit them into the contests. hope that helps a little. Good luck.

Oh, I was jst having my usual fun writing my poems. Being that they are s outstanding, they should create a contest based on the style and content of my limerico which is a limerico anyone can understand it. Just being factitious or was that fictitious. Jim
