Rhythm and Rhyme
RHYTHM AND RHYME
Often times it seems to me,
That others do not often see,
Poetic licence has it's place from time to time.
Often they will mark some off,
And mayhap give a little cough,
When for flavor I will use it in my rhymes.
They think sometimes that I can't spell,
And often they are wont to tell,
That they think my rhyme and rhythm's off a bit;
But it depends on where you're from,
How the count in words will come,
For dialect has much control of it.
How the word itself's pronounced,
Gives it measure, gives it bounce,
And the rhyme and rhythm will come to;
So figure on who wrote it,
And the accent there will show it,
Does have rhyme and count and rhythm will ensue.

No offense to anyone. I wrote this a long time ago. Not complaining about anything,
just writing a rhyme and pointing out a truism too.
Hope y'all like it.
