If I Did Tell You Differently

I Am many decades beyond my life's prime And my body it is feeling the wear of time But i will be a rhymer till the day i die If i did tell you differently that would be a lie Since the prime of my life i have been a rhyming buff I am one of those who has penned reams of stuff To write rhyme is easy as most would agree And so many far better at it than me As a younger man i hoped for to be a poet And be looked on as one worthy of literary note And though i am one of those who did not make the grade Every writer is needed in the wordsmith trade The best days of my life to the forever gone But for as long as i can i will keep rhyming on
