Am I Original
As I sit here and pen this rhyme,
I wonder if there may come a time,
someone else might have the same words to say.
As we sit under the same moon,
and write tales about a lover’s swoon,
will we tell it in the very same way.
There are only so many words,
to use as nouns, adjectives and verbs,
coincidence dictates it might be so.
Cause I have read so many bards,
that the chances might not be that hard,
I could do it and never really know.
After all there’s been many times,
I’ve struggled to find a way to rhyme,
the word horse with anything but ‘of course’.
I guess I could make up a word,
one nobody else has ever heard,
like the evil stallion who bucked and ‘snorsed’.
I don’t know why I worry so,
there’s probably no one else you know,
with a mind quite as twisted and depraved.
So if you ever think for sure,
you have read these exact words before,
know that I didn’t mean to misbehave.
