In Some Sort Of A Way Poem by Francis Duggan

It only does seem a fair thing for to say
That many of us are addictive in some sort of a way
Narcotics and nicotine and alcohol are three that readily do come to mind
But of addictions of course there are many kind
I am one addicted to penning of rhyme
I have written reams of it over four decades of time
I commenced writing in my late twenties in my life's prime
And i would be in prison if penning of doggerel was a crime
Most of us humans do live with some sort of a need
And those free of addictions are lucky indeed
And if i said i was free of addictions this would be a lie
Since i will be a rhymer till the day i do die.
