Less of a Strain On the Brain

Here's a question you guys might answer When considering a quatrain or a narrative The response to a narrative wins hands down Could someone explain the reason why Forever I've thought poetry always meant rhyme Since grade school way back when Apparently I seem to be living in the past Coz narratives get much more notice Obviously narratives are easier to write Less of a strain on the brain But the numbers are there and numbers don't lie Is there anyone out there that can tell me why See... this one was a snap to write I await your replies with bated breath! © Jack Ellison 2014

Don'ts worry Jack. If you write them... We will come... and read them.... either one... Dragon's going gaga over todays' writes and postings... especially the description of yon fair maiden in your other poem... He's looking hard to find her... LOL... PS. I've found rhyme helps most comical poems so they're more fun to read.
