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 dramabr br Stanley Cooperbr br
