I met this next writer in Nantucket
Which is perfect for rhyming in a limerick or poem:
Here's one I wrote when I was there:
There was a young girl of Nantucket
Who wandered the beach with a bucket
I asked her what for
She said "Oysters and more
But I don't have a knife: oh well, shuck it."
That's completely beside the point,
She doesn't paint like Miro or act like DeNiro
She writes like
And is
Dani Shapiro
