For Many Years I Have Poem by Francis Duggan

For many years i have been a rhyming buff
And i am one who has penned reams of rhyming stuff
Addicted to rhyming i very well may be
But what seems boring to many feels enjoyable to me
I never refer to myself as a poet
Nor am i one worthy of literary note
I have been penning stuff since i was in my life's prime
And this is going back some four decades in time
And though my worth as a rhymer i have reason to doubt
No shortage of things for me to write rhymes about
I add to my growing numbers of rhymes every day
We are what we are as some are known to say
And when i say rhymers are many and poets are few
I am not committing to paper anything that is new.
