north pole, the limerick
This poem was entered into a contest to be selected to blog from the North Pole. With 200+ votes in my favor, I still came in short, but had a ton of fun composing a rhyming memoir of my travels.
There once was a girl from the East,
Who's tiny apartment was leased,
She decided her goal,
Was to visit a pole,
But since Peary, the price has increased!
