Do not be deceived by his size,
Or he’ll give you quite a surprise,
He may not be flashy,
But he’s really quite scrappy,
I’ve never seen him lose in a fight.
As I've mentioned before, I wrote these poems based off the titles alone, before ever hearing the songs. This silly little limerick almost feels wrong to take from a song that turned out to be so devastaing, but I've committed to releasing these from my drafts!

A great idea and love the cotrast of your words and Taylor's
Oooo, the contrast of your poem and the song. It reminded me of Beyonce's song, Irreplaceable. Before listening to it, from It's title, I thought she was gonna sing about how he wouldn't be able to replace her or vice versa. But boy was I wrong, lol
Like Rick said, I love the contrast between your poetry and the song! Very ironic and all-encompassing.
I like your limerick. It’s uplifting. The Taylor Swift song is exactly the opposite - very dark - but very good. I like the contrast between your limerick and her song. Very good, Kelsey!
I like how you wrote this limerick just from the title. It shows real creativity. I wonder what the song it's based on is like. Did you have a specific image in mind when you wrote it? Also, how do you usually come up with ideas for these poems just from titles?
