A Compulsive Rhymer Poem by Francis Duggan

A compulsive rhymer that surely is me
I have been penning doggerel since nineteen seventy three
For close to forty years i have been a rhyming buff
And i am one who has written a whole heap of stuff
If i told you i would quit rhyming that would be a lie
Perhaps i will be penning stuff till the day i do die
It is just an obsession that with me does stay
That i do find too hard for to give away
For so long addicted to penning of rhyme
Thirty eight years does seem such a long stretch of time
You might say to that tell us something that's new
Since as one with compulsive obsession i am not one of a few
There are millions like me in the big world out there
People like me nowadays are to be found everywhere.
