Poem
I'm not emotional about poetry to call it a 'crush' Sometimes I get ideas, but hardly ever in a rush to write them down like I have a bee in my bonnet I'm not prone to compose a Shakespearian Sonnet Rumor is that I like to crush people to be an irritation and every time I hear that crap, it's with indignation I've been on the site for years, and that's a long time I'm just a guy who writes limericks and verse in rhyme Some people poke fun, shake their heads and cuss at lines that may be a bit bawdy, but why all the fuss? Maybe they make some of you blush and faces turn red But it's all in fun, nothing any adult should ever dread I've a reputation, but one that some think is not good Never been the instigator in Poetry Soup brotherhood That label belongs to others. I've never acted like a troll criticizing others. I'm not the black sheep in this fold There were lots of times I felt the need to defend a friend Some assume I'm a bully, but only to those who offend I never point a finger at the innocent and won't condone anyone who wants to be crowned king and sit on a throne Unless it's one in a bathroom where the sound of a flush means there's need for cleaning the toilet with a brush I laugh with my friends at the potty humor they write and bark at those who find it distasteful. And yes, I bite. I've been given days off when accused of a wrongdoing but I don't cry 'foul play' and whimper with boo-hooing I'm still around, but I don't have the desire to reach poetry fame. I just enjoy having the right to free speech I'll enter this in the contest, though not a collaboration I don't have a crush on poetry, but I'll call it a flirtation to write things about life in the way I honestly see them Truth is, I'm not a bully creating disruption and mayhem
