Rhymed Poem

It happens sometimes,
That I cannot put the words to rhyme,
The sentences go straight,
And begun to scratch and grate,
Ideas get so complex and involved,
that similar sounding words are as good as not evolved,
Please do me a favor,
Recognize my poetic labor,
And read the poetry like prose,
Though I may seem to impose,
Words are knitted in ideas and thoughts,
Though they may not be tough and taut,
That they reach your ears and mind,
That's my only expectation and bind.
