When penning verses of rhyming <br />Created with metrical timing <br />I strive amateur-ish-ly <br />To write raconteur-ish-ly <br />These poems are my partners in crime-ing <br /> <br />As a writer of verse I try with <br />Verbs and nouns to comply with <br />Jargon-ist rules <br />Provide writing tools; <br />Tools I'm poetically sly with <br /> <br />Respected critiquers decry <br />Good form, they insist, I deny <br />Yet my poems readers laugh at <br />Enjoyably gaffe at <br />So perhaps I needn't comply <br /> <br />I am just a writing flimflam-mer <br />Creating my laughs with off-grammar <br />I'm tickled enough <br />To have written fun stuff <br />No-nonsense is found in straight drama<br /><br />Stanley Cooper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-contrarian-grammarian/
