I Hope To Be Doing It Poem by Francis Duggan

I am one who has written a whole heap of rhyme
Just old fashioned stuff over decades of time
Since for it i never receive any money as pay
Some have advised me for to give it away
But their sort of advice i do choose to ignore
And to my growing numbers of rhymes every day i add more
That it is something i love doing this i won't deny
To those who say why i keep on rhyming i enjoy doing it is my reply
I never refer to myself as a poet
This is a title to those worthy of literary note
Addicted to rhyming is how i seem to be
It was my love of rhyme made a rhymer of me
If i said i would quit rhyming this would be a lie
As i hope to be doing it on the day i do die.
