John Lawless Poet Limerick

Vestigial Vagabond

The tail of a beaver, bill of a duck
yet they pull it off with honor and pluck
made with spare parts
they capture our hearts
with DNA tests that read WTF

Charles Messina September 12, 2018 at 9:40 AM John, I love this one. But unfortunately the last line had to have an animals name in it. I laughed my --- off after reading. Thanks for entering my contest. Congratulations on you placement...Charlie John Lawless September 13, 2018 at 7:46 AM Thanks Charles....with a last name like Lawless it seems a genetic inability to follow the rules.
