Notes About The Poem

" POETS" MY PHOTO, ©

The Contest

Homer, Dante, Shakespeare, Milton and Klein*  

Wished to post poems on Soup that thought fine

They worked all night and all day

Taking care of what to say

Prayed their work the Soupers wouldn't decline!

Hi Demitrios, I don't the "Soup" could decline the fine poets that you mentioned. Well done:-) Alexis

Certainly you wouldn't dearest, Alexis and neither wouldn't the Soup ( probably some members, hahaha) ! It is a Limerick which underlies the high standards that are applied! No, disrespect ! Just : Satire! Thank you! xxx

...by fine city you mean Limerick or Montreal? If you mean the first unfortunately I have not visited your fine city! If you mean the second, I lived, studied and taught there for almost 20 years my fried Tom! Thank you so very much for your gracious comment. By now I hope you have googled A. Klein and have found out that he is who I say he is! Lol.
