For As Long As I Can Do

My rhyming ambitions have taken a fall Though rhyming to me is no effort at all I have been a rhymer since seventy three Four decades in time seems a good span to me If i told you i would quit rhyming this would be a lie I hope to be doing it till the day i do die My physical best in the forever gone But true to my calling i keep rhyming on I do enjoy rhyming i pen rhymes every day Old habits die hard as some are known to say And though the years have left me looking bald, old and gray I feel no desire to give rhyming away It is said about poets that their kind are few One may say to that do tell us what is new And not many are worthy of literary note Though many do go by the title of poet My best years behind me and old age of me ahead And any literary ambitions i have had are long dead In my writing habits i am an addictive man But i will go on rhyming for as long as i can.
