When People Say, I Can'T Rhyme




When people say, "I can't rhyme"
Believe me, I don't give them time
"You are lazy", which you want to hide
Instead, you may please confide

Rhyming demands hard hard-work 
And you made noise "quark! quark! quark!" 
You told, "I don't want to go to school" 
Because you think schools are for the fools

I think, people who refuses to learn 
Time will test them and hopefully burn
Their lazy words of shortcut turn
Would find no way home - to return 

I love free verse, but rhyming is there too
I love Haikus' too and make those bijou
If you want to try, I can give you clue(s) 
But, please don't sound like a cow, " moo! moo! moo!"

Haha! Actually it has happened in reality. For last few weeks, we 50 poets from India were writing collaborative verses for publication. There I made a proposal of writing a Pantoum collaboratively. But, because of some non rhymers, we have to drop the proposal. And this is my reaction... Hugs, Bobby
