Not In Rhyme

This cannot rhyme, I must try change, my verse I’ll try to rearrange. Oh hell, I know, I’ve made it rhyme, my pen’s the culprit every time! I’ll try once more to write this poem without a rhyme to keep it flowin’. I don’t believe I cannot do it, there really should be nothing to it! There’s something wrong within my head, I should take heed of what I said. I said, “I mustn’t rhyme this time”, but rhyme’s in every flippin line! Well I give in, I am not clever, my poetry will rhyme forever. I’ll never make a decent poet, if it’s not rhyme… I just can’t show it! Ivor G Davies
