Since I Know I Am One Poem by Francis Duggan

Since i know i am one who does pen doggerel
To me something i do not know of me do tell
The words of a wiser one than you i recall
If you cannot say something nice of a person say nothing at all
Your words though not asked for of me may be true
But for that it does seem credit you are not due
Since you tell me something i have told others before
That i write for self enjoyment and little else more
You are one who does like to play games of the mind
And people like you with their words are unkind
Since you like to use your words for to put others down
You will never become the best loved one in the town
And i only can wonder why you waste your time
On reading the stuff i do write that you call doggerel rhyme.
