JUST BECAUSE
Just because I have been asked,
By Poetry Soup’s John Lawless,
To write a random poem,
I need to find something flawless.
I thought about a Haiku,
But, although not very long,
I can’t count up to seventeen
So I’m bound to get it wrong
Now Villanelles are tricky,
Though I’ve tried from time to time,.
But I really can’t be bothered
To find six words that rhyme.
So what about a sonnet?
They can’t be very hard.
But I feel a bit self-conscious
Competing with The Bard.
After due consideration,
My final answer’s this.
Just because I’m lazy,
I’ll give this one a miss
