Limerick: The Polo Pair

Rating: 5.0


Two poets from one town is quite rare
But I have unearthed the Polo Pair.
There's Kelly and there's Mike.
Tell me, what's not to like?
To top it off, they're both debonair!

Kim, Reminded me of you and I. Small town Kaysville, a place where chess players and poets gather.

I just saw this. Thanks for the shoutout Kim. Polo is a little town (2000 or so inhabitants) but it's a nice one. It probably doesn't produce many poets or writers, but it does churn out a lot of rednecks. I never feel like one until I get to Chicago and realize just how hick this town has made me
