It Seems True Enough

It seems true enough anyone can write rhyme And rhymers were the poets of another time And in the twenty first century literature poetry is no longer the in thing It is mostly the praises of novelists the literary critics do sing I used to love reading rhymes when i was a schoolboy And penning them nowadays i surely do enjoy I penned my first rhymes in nineteen seventy three And it was my love of rhyme that made a rhymer of me Even among rhymers i will never be one to the fore It is something i enjoy doing and little else more A hobby for me without honor or pay But what i enjoy doing i could not give away Even in literature many changes in the twenty first century And an old fashioned rhymer at best is the best i can be My best days in life to the forever gone But true to my calling i will keep on rhyming on.
