Try Harder and Harder

Try Harder and Harder Some say a lack of intelligence is impeding How I write and ability to be reading, Stopping proper flow and not sound euphoric And my hearing has become hard and metaphoric. Here I go again with fierce forced rhyming And being a person in who is always chiming Becoming a pain in the you know where As we hit the dusty trail over here and there. Often some pigs seem to start to squeal On you and when words become colloquial Like I said before, may be a big pain But my poems are funny and do entertain. There's that horrible look on your face again; So what if you're patience is wearing thin; How about this for a fantastic starter: "Will write better poems and try harder and harder."

James, I think the reason you have to try harder and harder is because it's harder and harder to get an honest appraisal. But I sure like your take on it. Let's face it; if we were really that good, wouldn't they be publishing our stories in 'The Vanity Muse' or some such silly magazine? I enjoy being entertained. This poem is entertaining. Thank you. (Check out 'The Purple Cow' if you want my take.) Jim
