Poetry Wasn't Enough - a Triple Limerick

Remember how Daffodil Finnigan
Was determined to never begin-again 
Loving a man -- 
So she constantly ran
From men -- so’s not to fall-in-again!

Well, into her life walked a poet,
Who dug her, and -- meaning to show it --
But easy-to-hate,
And weigh over-wait -- 
To bolster his chance to not blow it -

Plied her with poetry - sending his best -
Some of them poignant…others in jest…
Showering her with verse,
‘Til she deemed it a curse,
Then she sued him…for being a pest!
