If You Would Be So Kind

If You Would Be So Kind It is almost as if I am wearing a long lanyard Showing that I have set a new standard As my performance reaches a higher peak For another new poem will hunt and seek. Things look promising as I start to compare My poems with Poetry Soup that are there With them I continually try to compete Hoping that I never have to suffer defeat. Time always moves and goes on as well as I Possessed and obsessed by poems cannot deny Writing each poem that may come to my mind Please pass the salt if you would be so kind.
