The 'Poem A Day' Project ~ Day 138 Poem by Flying Lemming

I want a poem that is quick
Something easy is the trick
So I think that I
Will have my first try
At doing a Limerick

The layout is very well tested
It’s simple and cannot be bested
The rhythm is neat
Fits the words to a treat
And not much mind powers invested

I am quite enjoying this style
After giving it a fair trial
It’s a quick way to write
Night after night
But’ll grow stale after a while

So maybe it isn’t my fate
To use this layout so great
But the light has diminished
And I find I am finished
So it got me through poem 1-3-8
