To Beat Or Not To Beat

My poetry may not be high-falutin,
but sometimes it is rootin tootin;
sometimes it it sweet and sad,
sometimes it is awful bad.

Just as beauty is in the eye...
a poem does not have to justify 
itself to you or me, 
it just simply has to be.

Dedicated to those of us who don't understand a beat of meter.
