I Have

I have been told by some my rhymes are not good enough For the twenty first century a bit slip shod and rough Perhaps their way of saying i should give rhyming away Though to their advice any heed i never does pay It is something i enjoy doing i write rhymes every day Just one of many with words who does like to play The rhymes do come to me i just write them down But never for money or hope of literary renown As a younger man i hoped i might become a poet But i never became one of literary note I used to love reading rhymes as a young boy And writing them today i thoroughly enjoy And despite what some of my rhyming efforts have to say I hope to be rhyming on my life's last day.
