I thought the rule is “third time lucky”. But there’s an exception to every rule. And his name is Sebastian. His poem got all the right results though! Loved every bit of this rhyme and scheme. 😭
That is what they say, Dora! Delighted you like it.
Goodness me, what did they do to him?! Always something fun to read here, Keith! 🙂
