It Is Said About Writers Poem by Francis Duggan

Rhyming words in abundance and rhymers not few
Though in that i'm not saying anything that is new
But a beautiful rhyme makes a beautiful song
To be married to music for the pub sing along
Since he or she no longer seen as worthy of literary note
One ignored by the literary critics is the poor rhyming poet
Not seen to be worthy of even local renown
Even on his or her side of the town
Suppose on most things there is a use by date
The twenty first century literary critics only celebrate
The major novelist and playwright and major non rhyming poet
All others are not seen as worthy of note
It is said about writers they are born not made
Though everyone needed in the wordsmith trade.
