Rupert the Bear

When I was young I read a book my hero was in there. The book I'm sure, you've read yourself about… 'Rupert the Bear'. But my hero was not Rupert, nor his Mother, nor his Dad. Not even all the wizards or the creatures Rupert had. My hero was the poet who turned all the words to rhyme. Beneath the comic pictures that ran with the storyline. This was also wrote in paragraphs, as all good books should be. But the rhyming explanations were the things that captured me. I'm sure my admiration for the muse behind the lines. Was my earliest perception of the power of simple rhymes. So now I'm a rhyming poet and my head will always fit. My feelings and emotions into words that rhyme a bit. So forgive me if I bore you, when my rhyming's always there. It's not my fault..... I'm brainwashed…. by that pesky little bear! Ivor G Davies
