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. ~ 3rd Place ~ in the "State Limerick" Poetry Contest, Kevin Shaw, Judge & Sponsor.

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
