It Is Only A Hobby

I have been writing rhyme for forty five years or so But if i was depending on this to eat of hunger i would be dead years ago As writers rhymers are never to the literary fore It is only a hobby and little else more It was my love of rhyme made a rhymer of me I wrote my first rhymes in nineteen seventy three Back in the days when my hair was dark brown When i was twenty seven west of Millstreet Town It is easy to write rhyme as easy as can be Anybody can do it you can have this from me Mouse rhymes with louse and bee rhymes with tree And when you add one and two it always equals three For many years i have been a rhyming buff Just one who has written many pages of stuff My better days may be in the forever gone But for as long as i can do i will keep on rhyming on.
