Christine Lehman Poet Limerick

Why I'M Not Currently Making Any Money At This Poetry Stuff

“Poetry is useless,” she thinks,
“especially mine, 'cause it stinks!
But what can I do?
I can’t follow through
on any sort of sensible job training, even that of learning to rhyme properly.”

John Lawless August 12, 2016 at 10:27 AM Someday, Christine, this will be found in a yellowing manuscript and VIOLA!!! Posthumous fame and fortune will be yours. Maybe you can tell the landlord to hold the check for a few decades. Christine Lehman August 12, 2016 at 11:46 AM Or more likely, a yellowing, decaying CPU from my computer, since I've never actually committed it to dead-tree paper! But I get your drift! Thanks for the funny comment! :-)

Ronald Kent August 10, 2016 at 10:08 AM The check is in the mail for this one. Christine Lehman August 10, 2016 at 3:53 PM Yahoo! I'll keep vigil by the mailbox! :D

DM Babbit August 10, 2016 at 10:03 AM Maybe we don't need to make money, honey. Just express yourself. Christine Lehman August 10, 2016 at 3:53 PM I agree! But of course, if anyone wants to send me $100 for this one, I'll take it. ;-)

Jan Allison August 10, 2016 at 9:55 AM ha ha ha I especially love the very humourous final line:-) hugs Jan xx Christine Lehman August 10, 2016 at 3:53 PM Thanks, Jan!! xx
