Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen Poet Limerick

The Gloating Poet

The Gloating Poet

There once was a poet remote
Who got stuck on some words that he wrote.
And try as he might,
No new words came to light.
So since thence he no longer can gloat.

(Alternate last line;  He had no luck in the alphabet soup!)

March 19th...alternate last line added.  I LOVE YOUR COMMENT DORIS!  I changed my last 
line.  Is 
this okay?  Please say yes.  I guess that makes it a collaboration.
