Bad Poems Don'T Just Happen
Sometimes I come across two words that I think would make a funny rhyme,
But then I can’t think up a good way to use the pun when it comes thyme.
I’m always looking for things that I think are funny to put into a poem,
But by the time I try to remember them it’s like I no longer know ‘em.
So I type out a line of words not knowing where it might end,
Then I try to type a second line and hope its’ meaning will help the first one to transcend.
But the first line is shorter that the second one and now I have to even them up,
And the second one doesn’t even make any sense so nice and warm in the cup.
And then I remember that I wrote something about this subject once before,
It dawns on me that previously I’ve used this topic and it is needed no more.
I always seem to run out of words that nicely rhyme for my poetry,
And the penalty for forcing rhyme is to be hung from the Poet tree.
When the reader finishes they should have a good last line on which to end,
