This Penning Of Rhyme Poem by Francis Duggan

This penning of rhyme can be a hungry belly game
It is true what is said that one cannot live on fame
As a young man i often daydreamed that i would be a poet
Quite wealthy and famous and of literary note

From penning of rhyme few have become a millionaire
And those who can make a living from such to say the least rare
For longer than i care to remember i have been a rhyming buff
And i am one who has written a whole heap of stuff

The rhymes that come to me into notebook i do write
Such simple stuff easy to read and recite
My hobby i enjoy though not a profitable thing
And in life as i see it in rhyme i do sing

It is true about poets they are born not made
Though every writer is needed in the wordsmith trade
I write rhymes for enjoyment and little else more
This is something you may have heard me say before.
