I Am One Of

I am one of those out of date people for many years a rhyming buff Of four decades and three years of rhyming i have written a whole pile of stuff One of many unpaid internet rhymers there are plenty like me everywhere Who are dismissed by the literary critics of the literary World out there One who has seen three score and ten years of living my better years in the long gone Like all other internet rhymers my love of rhyme keeps me rhyming on Rhymers nowadays are literary outsiders few things ever do seem to last In years from now the present literary in style may be dismissed as a thing of the past As a boy back in the nineteen fifties i remember rhyme was a literary in thing On Winter nights rhymes by the fireside recited and singers the old songs did sing What was popular in the long gone decades is not a literary in thing of today Even in literature the changes keep on happening and few things as they were do stay Just one more internet rhymer this too can be said of me I penned my first rhymes at twenty seven way back in nineteen seventy three When i was younger and fitter and stronger time has left me looking older and gray Yet i remain faithful to rhyming and with rhyme words i do love to play.
