I would like to write a poem today,
My preference is to make it rhyme.
That is my bent, have I the time?
I’ve many words I’d wish to say.
Some, I think, I’ll keep in reserve
For maybe, one apart, a specialty,
As perhaps a write for you or me.
I threw that line in just for a curve
You see, it’s not just any old time
I’d write in rhyme just to please.
Well, maybe it is, I revel in a tease
And leave with an Auld Lang Syne.
Now, this little write is new to me
So reader, refrain from ill retort.
I can do worse, I’ll make it short
You can’t ever from me flee.
There my friends, that is my best
The rhyming isn’t great, it will do.
After all it’s just for me and for you.
Will you write for me, at my behest?
