A Rhymer

A rhymer may be just that a rhymer but a rhymer never runs out of rhyme But sadly most people look on rhymers as people who do waste their time In putting their verses together if for such they do receive any pay They see money as most important your money speaks for you they say In the World of modern poetry most literary critics dismiss rhyme as dead In the university and college campus blank verse is the poetry that is read At every poetry reading a rhymer not seen as a poet Not seen as one as important to be worthy of literary note But I am one who does like rhymers for rhyme to it has a nice ring Without rhyme song would be denuded and that would seem such a sad thing It may be seen by some as out of fashion as something that is of the past But rhyme still has it's literary purpose though few things in time seems to last But those who say that rhyme is as dead as the dodo I feel glad to say have got it wrong For if rhyme is lost to us forever we too will witness the death of song.
