Perpetual Grinning



There once was a poet who kept winning
awards which perpetuated her grinning.
Laugh lines the only drawback
other than a happiness attack.
Blogging's brought her glee since the beginning.

Thank you to everyone who nominated me for the Perfect Poet Award in Poet's Rally Week #40. 
I would like to nominate Kim Nelson for her poem Happiness Hiding.

    Speaking of limericks, did that one get deleted with that page you lost?

    Luckily I have a mind like steel trap, or maybe more like a grease trap. At any rate, I remember how it goes.

    Thanks everyone! I JUST redesigned the page... thanks for rewarding my hard work with praise re: the appearance. :)

    Bryan, your limerick was in the page that got deleted, but you will see it is now nestled in the new sidebar with a link to your profile. :) I just noticed the spacing still isn't quite right though... ill fix it.

    Congrats Rachel you winner you!
    Only one thing and it probably just me, but I find it more difficult to read this script... need new glasses methinks.

    Thanks for the honest feedback, A! I was flip flopping about that font. Me thinks this rounder one is a wee bit easier on the eyes.

    @fiveloaf - Thanks! I love it when my fellow poets vote me an award. :)
