If a poem could cost a dime <br />I will spend my ink and spend my time <br />Making the perfect rhyme <br /> <br />More than a million people may read it <br />Even if I have to sell it on credit <br />I will be the businesswoman with wit <br />Sit down! Think about it! <br /> <br />A penny for the perfect sentence <br />A penny for a poem glaring with essence <br />A penny for writing about the present and past tense <br />A penny for describing a situation that is intense <br />A penny if I write truthfully without pretence <br />As I turn away from crime <br />Making the perfect rhyme <br /> <br />If a poem could cost a pound <br />I will turn my life around <br />As I compose the perfect poetic sound <br />That rhymes against any background <br /> <br />My words will be sublime <br />Not just the perfect rhyme <br />They will be read both at teatime and during bedtime <br />My sentences will mature in their prime with time <br />As I turn away from crime <br />Making the perfect rhyme <br /> <br />Copyright 2006 - Sylvia Chidi <br />www.sylviachidi.co.uk<br /><br />Sylvia Chidi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-poem-with-the-perfect-rhyme/
