It Is Love Of Rhyme Poem by Francis Duggan

For many years i have been a rhyming buff
Just one who has written a whole heap of stuff
Not one of the young brigade of rhyming men
Of years i have lived a year with three score and ten
Back in the early nineteen seventies going way back in time
In my twenty seventh year i penned my first rhyme
Since then so many Seasons have come and have gone
And time on my life ever keeps ticking on
I never refer to myself as a poet
Nor am i one worthy of literary note
I loved reading rhymes when i was a young boy
And penning them nowadays is something i enjoy
It is easy to write rhymes as most would agree
And it is love of rhyme that made a rhymer of me.
