I Write Because I Enjoy Writing

I'm not one who is an asset to the honourable wordsmith trade Where only the very finest can ever hope to make the grade And I never solicit for comments a promise to myself I've made It doesn't worry me the least bit if to oblivion I will fade In my young years in Duhallow in the fields by Millstreet Town Full of silly young ambition I used to daydream of literary renown To me now it does not matter that I've never known of literary fame And I won't die disappointed to know mine will be a forgotten name I am not a literary critic I leave that to those of literary degrees I am just an ordinary rhymer who only pen stuff for mind ease I write because I enjoy writing and though I am not one who is well known I believe in the old adage that simply states each to their own For many years I've been a rhymer and for longer than that a rhyme buff And though I will not be remembered for it I have penned a lot of stuff.
