The Thing Known As Rhyme

The thing known as rhyme is not hard for to write And easy to memorize and to recite For as long as the rhythm and metre are right A good rhyme poem can be a source of delight Though the difference between the two not hard to tell Many so called experts on poetry refer to rhyme as doggerel Some will even tell you no kinship between a flower and a rose There are so called experts on everything one must suppose Music and rhyme poetry they do get along And a good rhyming poem is the source of a song Though anyone can be one of the great wordsmith trade Some do say poets are born and cannot be made Though some self professed experts cannot differentiate doggerel from rhyme The words in the song seem to live on in time.
