Three Attempts

I wanted to write you a sonnet

But a limerick came busting in on it.

I did what I could

Is this any good?

Oh, but content! I guess I forgot it.

Ummm...
Ah, yes.  Ahem.

The boy that I want is in China

But I want him to know that I ... lima?

Darn! Nothing else rhymes

And I've run out of lines..

I'm not a good limerick designah.

*sigh*

I'll try one more time to be clearer.
This boy to me couldn't be dearer.
I'd run any race
To be close to his face,
And spend my last dime to get nearer.

Tahdah!
