I haven't inspired a great deal of poetry in my life, but this gem makes up for the dearth up to now. Thank you Paul.
Just come up with this in five minutes as my entry. It's a belter...
There once was a poet called Anna
Who had a peculiar manner;
Whenever she wrote
She'd ride on a goat
And undo its horns with a spanner.
