But True To My Life's Calling

For many years i have been a rhyming buff And the stuff i do pen is only rhyming stuff My better days in life in the forever gone But true to my life's calling i keep on rhyming on And since for my rhyming efforts i never receive any pay I have been advised by a few to give rhyming away But what others think of me is their business and this suits me fine Since what is their business is no business of mine It has been nearly sixty years since i was a boy And to me rhyming is a thing i do thoroughly enjoy I penned my first rhymes in nineteen seventy three In life most of us have some hobby would you not agree And i hope to be rhyming until the day i do die If i did tell you otherwise this would be a lie.
