Rhyme?...Not Me

I can write a poem That simply doesn't rhyme I know you think I can't But I do it all the....day long I know what you thought You thought I already messed up But an old dog can learn new tricks And so can her....baby dog Now if you're sitting there waiting For me to write the wrong word I can write things beside rhymes No matter what you've....been told Well now I'm almost finished And still no words sound the same But if I make just one mistake I've only myself to....fuss at See, I've almost made it For this is my final verse For all of those who wanted me to fail It's okay to....cuss

Ho ho. I didn't want you to fail and you didn't. Written with great humor. My head and pen want to rhyme, but we had to forgo the rhyme this time. Congratulations. Joyce
