A Good Rhyming Poem Poem by Francis Duggan

A good rhyming poem can be sung as a song
That when put to music makes for a good sing along
The World's great songs were born of poems that rhyme
The musical words do stand the test of time

A good rhyming poem is memorable and easy to recite
But surely is never easy for the poet for to write
Many of the rhyming poems of Burns alive in song today
The music in his words will never fade away

Though the breath of life from them forever has long gone
The great rhyming bards their poems are living on
Mangan and Burns, Masefield, Service and Clare
With literary history's greats these great poets do compare

A good rhyming poem is one destined to live
Such pleasure to the masses it does give
It is indeed a joyous and a pleasurable thing
When the music in the words to you does sing.
