I can't write a poem; I simply can't!
I can't sing, rhyme, nor chant,
All my words are fumbled.
Last time I read something I mumbled.
I can't write a poem, I simply can't!
Every time I try I begin to rant,
I will refuse and whine,
You see, I simply can't rhyme!
My poems are downright bad!
You see, my dear lad,
A slug can rhyme better than me!
Read my poem and you will snicker with glee.
You'll laugh and point and say,
You're no poet, no way!
Then you'll agree,
For my poems, I'll earn a negative degree,
They're awful, terrible, hideous and lousy!
Shocking, dreadful, and frowzy!
Merely reading them will make you faint and drowsy.
You'll say, go away!
I'd rather eat a mouthful of hay!
You were right, you can't write a poem, you simply can't!
I'll reply, I told you I can't sing, rhyme, nor chant.
A beast of a poem I created; look at what I did!
Me, a poet? What a fib!
I Can't Write A Poem
I Simply Can't Rhyme!
