We Old Poets Love Our Rhyme

We Old Poets Love Our Rhyme


 We old poets love a sweetly flowing rhyme
 we made our phone calls with just a dime
 Movie for two, drinks, change from a dollar
 we drank great hard liquor to hoop and holler

 Gals we chased first, then we went a courtin'
 no hanky panky and so very little cavortin'
 A night out was to a movie theater or play
 never late could a very good gal ever stay

 We old poets still love a sweet and fine rose
 as long as it rhymes almost anything goes
 Once my gal had such bright and pretty shoes
 she gave me a treasure when I hadn't any clues

 We old poets dearly love our inspiring Muse
 Gifts us such lovely inspiring words to choose
