The Rhyme

Neither time nor wit shall outlive this rhyme 
Of a bent twist in my prime
But you might watch with the silence of a mime
And marvel at the glittering slime 
Falling off a fractured life as sour as lime.
My foul choice navigated me into a rough clime
So mean like a bad tale at teatime ,
Holding on to the inner senses, as sticky as birdlime
Beleaguered, unable to think in half a time
Ambling in no direction, lying in wait as an enzyme .
Being a tyrant to myself maybe disregarded as a thyme 
But never will you see me walk off without leaving you a dime
For you will forever remember me in a lifetime 
As a strange lonely wanderer with a RHYME.
