I Write Because I Enjoy Writing Poem by Francis Duggan

I'm not one who is an asset to the honourable wordsmith trade
Where only the very finest can ever hope to make the grade
And I never solicit for comments a promise to myself I've made
It doesn't worry me the least bit if to oblivion I will fade
In my young years in Duhallow in the fields by Millstreet Town
Full of silly young ambition I used to daydream of literary renown
To me now it does not matter that I've never known of literary fame
And I won't die disappointed to know mine will be a forgotten name
I am not a literary critic I leave that to those of literary degrees
I am just an ordinary rhymer who only pen stuff for mind ease
I write because I enjoy writing and though I am not one who is well known
I believe in the old adage that simply states each to their own
For many years I've been a rhymer and for longer than that a rhyme buff
And though I will not be remembered for it I have penned a lot of stuff.
