Demetrios Trifiatis Poet Limerick

The Paradox

There was a poet of certain repute 

Every day wrote poems that were acute 

Some people liked him so much 

His gift said was hard to match 

But always they gave his poems the boot!*

* My muse wishes me to let her relax for a while!
   I reluctantly, agreed!
