I start with a line
Little pastime of mine
Then the pressure to rhyme is intense
Each phrase is a fight
Twenty pencils a night
Till it’s tight but it mightn’t make sense
Well I can’t raise a laugh
With a prose paragraph
I’d be dull for a page and a half
Verse is concise
Here a joke would be nice
Eight syllables, ends in giraffe
Everyone knows
That the problem with prose
Is that it doesn’t rhyme or scan and what would be the point of that?
keep rhyming & making us laugh Gill. Nice drum too.
