I Just Enjoy Writing Rhyme

I am one who has written many pages of rhyme Without the reward of pay over decades of time And though not one of those to the literary fore It is something I enjoy doing and little else more Rhyme is a thing that anybody can write And easy to remember and read and recite But most twenty first century critics dismiss a rhymer as a non poet As one who is unworthy ofliterary note It was my love of rhyme made a rhymer of me I penned my first rhymes in nineteen seventy three This seems long ago the babies back then Are now in their forties middle aged women and men I just enjoy writing rhyme of this I won't lie And I hope to be doing it until the day I do die.
