The Magic Bean Locks

ST. Paddy Day today. I'm wearing my green, and I celebrate with my 100th poem posted 
since coming here before Xmas! and I will probably lay off the limericks now until next year!

With hair much too short, one vain poet
took magic beans so she could grow it.
Like Jack's giant bean stalk
quickly grew each gold lock!
Now her hair has no place she can stow it!

A fine effort. Please give me the name of this "vain poet." I'd like to get some of those magic beans. I'm like an ape - hair everywhere except on the top of my head. Love, daver

lol.this reminds me of a short story we had to in my former creative writing class.mine was about this girl named smakia who had really gorgeous and long blue hair.but she had no assferdaiz.so she was given a huge block of cheese and magic leaves to stuff in there so it would grow for the man she wanted-etc.i call it that because it has a hidden msg in the title"a myth ferdaiz"i don't think i should write a limerick.i would probably be bad.you're funny with these!!her hair's locked up now!lmao
