Had a Ho Hum Attitude

Had a Ho Hum Attitude

My friend could tell from his first glance
I had a ho hum attitude full of happenstance
After being to the point yet matter of fact
And in each poem myself I would enact.

Always true to form Terry could tell
Then from him often I would catch hell
Instead of me being a poetry derelict
Terry decided to declare an eloquent edict.

You see Terry was continually getting his fill
Of my many poems being run of the mill
So this poem to my poetry friends am sending
Knowing that you will have thoughts of amending.

My poems have rhythm like a beating drum
And various walks of life you may come from
Sometimes sending an email being scary
Electing to say my poem was extraordinary.

Been out in heat watering flowers too long
What is it with my brain which went wrong?
Even using six words with w's in same line
How it happens to be a Horn Poem of mine.
