If i say i pen doggerel that's not false humility <br />But it is much more than a hobby 'tis a way of life with me <br />The rhymes just like a river are babbling in my head <br />I only pen to paper what my thoughts to me have said. <br /> <br />I do not fancy myself as one worthy of note <br />And i do not have pretensions to the title of a poet <br />Even for the tag of minor writer perhaps not good enough <br />But the rhymes in me keep stirring and I've penned a lot of stuff. <br /> <br />I have to be addictive for how can i explain <br />That i cannot control my urge to write i have jingles in my <br />brain <br />I suffer rhymers addictions of that why should i lie <br />Perhaps i will be rhyming until the day i die. <br /> <br />I do not write for money and i do not write for fame <br />And i really do not care at all if mine is an unknown name <br />Just an addictive rhymer though for me no writers drought <br />And my ability as a rhymer i never cease to doubt. <br /> <br />Your average sort of rhymer just that and nothing more <br />One with a rhyming addiction that the critics do ignore <br />It has been at least three decades since I've been in my prime <br />But for as long as there is life in me i will be penning rhyme.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/just-an-addictive-rhymer/
