There Are Rhymers Poem by Francis Duggan

There are rhymers in every village and city and town
But most of them strangers to literary renown
Literary critics describe them as scribblers who do not write well
And that their very best writing effort is mere doggerel
Though the rhymes they do write from memory quick to fade
Like all other writers rhymers are needed in the wordsmith trade
In literature as in most things for one for to win others must lose
Though winning is what the majority choose
But everyone cannot be a winner as the wise one does say
For every winner there has to be losers it works in this way
Those who tell us that rhymers are many and poets are few
Are not telling us any thing that is new
But that there will always be rhymers happens to be true
Though any credit as such is not seen as their due.
