So Much Poem by Francis Duggan

So much i have written and so many things i have written about
Yet my worth as a rhymer i always do doubt
A poet i have never pretended to be
Though to rhyme never comes as an effort to me
I have been a rhymer since seventy three
In time quite a long span would you not agree
Even as a young boy many years from my life's prime
I did find pleasure in the music in rhyme
With old ballad singers on the radio i used to sing along
I still do believe rhyme is married to song
And fond memories of what was i recall with joy
Like those old songs and ballads i loved as a boy
And though for me in rhyme there's no financial gain
A rhymer i am and as such i will remain.
