The Paradox

There was a poet of certain repute Every day wrote poems that were acute Some people liked him so much His gift said was hard to match But always they gave his poems the boot!* © Demetrios Trifiatis 23 February 2016 * My muse wishes me to let her relax for a while! I reluctantly, agreed!

Yes, the Limerick is fun and true at the same time but I do not complain for there are rules and regulations and I respect them! At this particular moment my muse wishes to be next to my flowers for so many bees and butterflies will go hungry if I do not take care of my garden. Thank you for your visits and comments dear, Andrea!
