I love old fashioned earthy stuff old ballads and old rhyme <br />To modern sophisticated writing I'd prefer it anytime <br />But that is my opinion and though everyone's opinion ought to count <br />The opinions of one person to little does amount, <br />I love old fashioned earthy songs I love to sing along <br />with the folk or ballad singer of a loved familiar song <br />Perhaps I do seem boring as old fashioned I am known <br />But to each their preference like 'tis said to each their own, <br />I am not anti modern writers in case you get me wrong <br />But I could listen to ballads and rhyme in an old pub all night long <br />And with what I say if you are one who choose to disagree <br />You are entitled to your opinions and that's okay with me, <br />I may seem a bit dated but give me the earthy stuff <br />Old songs and rhymes and ballads for me are good enough.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/old-songs-and-rhymes-and-ballads/
