The Rhymers Rhyme On They Are Born To Rhyme Poem by Francis Duggan

The literary critics may dismiss their work as of another time
But the rhymers rhyme on they are born to rhyme
And they will go on rhyming till their last night and day
The rhymers could never give rhyming away
The rhymers with rhyming words do like to play
And despite what the literary critics do say
The rhymers love rhyme and will be rhyming on
When the life from the last literary critic has gone
Long before Chaucer was born rhyme was the in thing
And the rhymers wrote verses for singers for to sing
Every rhymer does write in a style of his or her own
And though the rhymers nowadays not among literature's best known
Despite what the literary critics of them may say
There will always be people who live to write rhymes every day.
