A Poem With The Perfect Rhyme

If a poem could cost a dime I will spend my ink and spend my time Making the perfect rhyme More than a million people may read it Even if I have to sell it on credit I will be the businesswoman with wit Sit down! Think about it! A penny for the perfect sentence A penny for a poem glaring with essence A penny for writing about the present and past tense A penny for describing a situation that is intense A penny if I write truthfully without pretence As I turn away from crime Making the perfect rhyme If a poem could cost a pound I will turn my life around As I compose the perfect poetic sound That rhymes against any background My words will be sublime Not just the perfect rhyme They will be read both at teatime and during bedtime My sentences will mature in their prime with time As I turn away from crime Making the perfect rhyme Copyright 2006 - Sylvia Chidi www.sylviachidi.co.uk
