Gregory Richard Barden Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

The Rain In Maine

Well, there once was a poet from Maine

Who wrote most of his work in the rain

But when the skies dripped

His pens slipped and flipped

Thus his poems all turned out ... inane.

Lindsay Laurie July 26, 2019 at 8:31 PM Hello Gregory ... someone should advise this poet from Maine, not to write in the rain, or it'll happen again and again, and his poems will remain inane - Thank you Gregory and well done - Lindsay
