Addicted To Penning Poem by Francis Duggan

Addicted to penning of doggerel rhyme
To many that does seem a huge waste of time
But what others think of me no business of mine
They have their opinions and that suits me fine
That i do enjoy rhyming why otherwise pretend
And i will be a rhymer till my life's journey's end
I penned my first rhymes in nineteen seventy three
And a love of rhyme has made a rhymer of me
Thirty eight years of rhyming my best years long gone
But for as long as i can i will keep rhyming on
Not everyone who writes can be a playwright or novelist or poet
And only the few know of literary note
But i hope to be rhyming till the day i do die
If i said otherwise i would be telling a lie.
