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
