please write the last line for me

by kevinwilson ^Pro @ 2007-10-04 – 19:40:28

to solemnly mark national poetry day, i offer you a unique opportunity...
to complete the last line of this limerick...

if successful, you will have made your mark on english literature.
you will achieve fame and success beyond your wildest dreams.

honest.

ok. here we go...

There was an old man from Milan,
Whose limericks never would scan.
When told this was so,
He said, 'yes, I know.
....................................

good luck!

        If taken in context, I guess the last line shouldn't have rhymed?
        
        But hey - who's splitting hairs?

There was an old man from Milan,
Whose limericks never would scan.
When told this was so,
He said, 'yes, I know.
But I write them with so much elan!"

    I only want to win if the winning prize is a day worth of grazing with that magnificient bull you presented here before.
    Otherwise, I am happy losing.

But with luck they usually rhyme and I always think that's the main thing although actually this one doesn't
