I`m very quick to admit that I`m thick <br />I`ve never ever been clever <br />I must concede most of that that I read <br />On Ph just ain’t worth my endeavour <br /> <br />I ask who knows what`s poetry or prose? <br />Rhythm’s a word too absurd to the herd, <br />They write words in a way that they think looks ok <br />If rhythm happens it`s by luck it occurred, <br />, <br /> I`m much too old, a dog to be told <br />New tricks that`ll fix the mortar and bricks <br />Of the stuff that I write. As I say I`m not bright <br />I`m prepared for the stones and the sticks. <br /> <br />Now I`ve turned seventy nine, it`s time I drew a line <br />I`ve not been ablaze with a phrase to amaze, <br />Or a great paragraph that would make the world laugh, <br />So it`s time I was put out to graze. <br /> <br /> <br />.<br /><br />archie langford<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/put-out-to-graze-2/
