Don'T Try This At Home, I'M a Professional Lol
A ballade I will now begin
Why do this form I now try
Surely no contest will I win
I can see already I will cry
Rarely am I a sensitive guy
Oh what will I possibly gain
Yet again asking myself why
From this form I’ll REFRAIN
Haha I used a humorous spin
Leaving my ego to again sigh
But soon my rhymes will thin
A rhyming dictionary I do spy
Before rhyming I could say my
Surely the ballade I now stain
I got this down the first lie
From this form I’ll REFRAIN
Lol once again my ego grins
I have a smile from eye to eye
Another twist, and not the end
A near rhyme was my last reply
The form I broke, but won’t buy
For a ballade, I cannot even train
If it meant my life, surely I’d die
From this form I’ll REFRAIN
A difficult form, I cannot deny
But soon I will hit the exit lane
That ego still smiling feeling sly
From this form I’ll REFRAIN
The lesson here, don't write a ballade in 10 minutes unless you're a professional. A professional clown that is lol. I tried to stay metrically consistent, but I'm American, we don't use metric unless it's convenient, in poetry it's never convenient always forced lol.
