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!) © Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen March 18, 2010 Poetic form: Limerick 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.
