Literary Critics Will Tell You Poem by Francis Duggan

Literary critics will tell you that the days of the rhymers are gone
But the rhymers exist and the rhymers rhyme on
Worldwide there are rhymers in every village and city and town
Among those who write for enjoyment not for wealth and renown
Rhyme may be a literary form of a long by gone day
But there are no shortage of rhymers in the World of today
It is just that rhyme is no longer seen as a fashionable literary thing
And only the praises of modern poets the literary critics do sing
But there will always be rhymers those who love to write rhyme
Though they may be seen as of another time
Though there was a time when rhymers had the title of poetess or poet
But nowadays they are not seen as worthy of literary note
The literary critics and the uni dons Worldwide
Who is worthy to be called a writer decide.
