For My Rhymes Poem by Francis Duggan

For my rhymes i do not expect or receive any pay
And yet i am one who writes rhymes every day
And to those who advise me to give rhyming away
We all have our addictions to them i do say
And though my worth as a rhymer i have reason to doubt
No shortage of things for to write rhymes about
To nineteen seventy three this is going back in time
I wrote my first verse when in my life's prime
There has been many Seasons and changes since then
And the babies at that time now middle aged women and men
To write rhyme is not hard you can have this from me
And many with such an assumption would only agree
And the fact is i enjoy rhyming and fact never lie
And i hope to be doing it till the day i do die.
