She Said You Must Have Penned Thousands Of Doggerels Poem by Francis Duggan

She said when do you have your time of rest from penning
Since Goddess poesy can do without you
You never make a penny from your scribbles
A rest by now you must be overdue.

I could not say to her I have a penning addiction
For I knew she would only laugh at me
I only said to her we all are different
And we all look at life quite differently.

She said you must have penned thousands of doggerels
Before I answered I thought of my reply
I said I've written heaps but that's my business
And though I'll never be a Poet at least I try

For to improve myself as a writer
Not everyone can be the best in Town
Her parting words to me you are a dreamer
A dreamer who will never know of renown.
