Mad Poet's Quest

Mad Poet’s Quest

24 lines

A mad poet from Berkeley,
Once found out,

That the Guinness
Book of World Records
Does not list a category,

For the most
number of poems
Written in one year,

And sets out to
Break the record.

He vows to write
one to ten poems
Per day
For a year.

And competes
For the title
Of the world’s
most prolific poet.

One year later
He submits his work
And is crowned,

The Guinness Poet champion
After writing 5,000 poems,
In one year.
