If I Said I'D Quit Rhyming

I never refer to myself as a poet Nor do I deserve to be one of literary note Though for many years now I have been a rhyme buff And I am one who has penned a whole heap of stuff Though I have travelled far and walked on many a street A true poet in the flesh is one I have yet to meet Many like to refer to themselves as poet with me that is okay Though self praise is no praise as some are known to say Yet the Wordsmith trade need all of it's writers for the experts to differentiate Between poor and average writing and between good and great But on few things in life few do seem to agree And what seems good to you may not seem so to me If I said I'd quit rhyming that would be a lie As a poetaster I live and as a poetaster I'll die.
