'Tis Out Of Fashion Now

'Tis out of fashion now old fashioned rhyme Like everything suppose it had it's time And changes in the World every day That's how it is and 'tis always been this way. Does this make Byron the great major poet One who retains the tag as one of literary note Long out of date in this the twenty first century With such an assumption I could not agree. The Uni literary dons have removed the music from poetry At least that's how it does appear to me They tell us rhyme in poetry nowadays does not belong In my thinking I must have got it wrong. In times of change such is life one suppose To me modern verse is another form of prose That I think in this way is beyond me to explain Or have I been born with a recycled brain? Like most other things in literature change is occuring fast And rhyme it does seem belongs to the past Perhaps for that one can thank those of literary degrees The poetry experts of the universities.
