Song of Forever

Sitting here at BMCC
I see youth at the table studying
My fellow workers are dealing with students 
I am wriitng verse
Which poetry to read?
and in what language ?
There have been many great ones 
    Nowadays few rhyme
       I don't mind that 
Awaiting my poetry in the mail
I feel like I should continue 
    writing verse 
I actually get checks in the mail from writing!
Love of money may be the root of all evil 
But it can certainly help(just joking)
