This Young Poet

[Dedicated to the blocked Brits: Tom, Gary and myself. May the mist soon clear for us all] * I’m just a young poet from Blighty l find I can no longer writey Again and again I’ve tried, but in vain And so I prayed to the almighty And then I heard bells being rung And then there were songs being sung The Lord came that night And said you shall write But stop making out that you’re young

"This Young Poet" is a fun Limerick write. No more being blocked for you. You are off and running writing away. Have a great/blessed day..................

Thank you, Paula. I enjoy mocking my numerous years because it simply won’t gel in my head that I’m getting on a bit. Terry

Glad you enjoyed, Linda. I wondered if ‘writey’ would work… seems I got away with it ;-)

Really no sense in arguing with the Lord. It's one you can't win. Look at the bright side, 25's not so bad. LOL

Thanks, Daniel. Alas, I’ve been 25 twice already… think I’d better stop counting
