Still Living On

Rhyme is no longer literary fashionable and without having to suppose Nowadays as a literary form it is seen as inferior to modern poetry and prose But it may well make a comeback in the years ahead Though rhyme is out of favour it is not officially dead And though many dismiss it as of another time It may come back in favour the literary form known as rhyme For where there is life there is hope as the wise one does say Though at peace in Mother Earth's bosom i know i will lay The hope of the return to favour of rhyme to me a source of joy As i loved reading rhyme poetry when i was a boy And rhyme i recall was quite popular back then But the boys of the nineteen fifties are now ageing men And due to the literary critics and university dons Rhyme is out of favour though still living on.
