Thank you, Anni. Maybe I'm a masochist because I do like making things difficult for myself. I considered rhyming each line as well, but that was a bridge too far. Perhaps next time...
Prince of poets, Robert Frost,
died in ‘63 to our cost,
four Pulitzer Prizes won,
and for America’s favourite son
(young JFK), a poem read,
a ringing paean upon his head,
but which the greater honoured be?
If you ask me, ‘twas Kennedy.
