Addicted To Penning Of Rhyme Poem by Francis Duggan

I am one addicted to penning of rhyme
And lucky for me that such an addiction is not seen as a crime
For I would be in prison if such was the case
Deprived of my freedom as a public disgrace
For many years now I have been a rhyme buff
And one might say I've written a whole heap of stuff
My best years behind me and old age ahead
One day I'll be one of the forgotten dead
My best years of life in the forever gone
But I won't stop rhyming I'll keep penning on
Until the Grim Reaper claims the life from me
Then of my addiction I'll surely be free
And I'll finish by saying something I've said before
That I write for enjoyment and little else more.
