Rhyming

Some folks, for fun, collect stamps or cook. Others may seek lofty mountains to climb. Erudite people might well pen a book, But I'm happiest when I make a rhyme. My hope is to write meaningful and true, But, at times, I might get carried away, And rhyme any 'ol thing and before I'm through, I go overboard to my friends' dismay. A speeding cop asks for registration. I say, "this ain't cause for celebration". The grocery cashier says, "have a nice day". I say, "how, with the prices I must pay?" I think I would be the most delighted, If things like the presidential debate, Or congressional proceedings were recited Completely in rhyme - yep, that would be great! When I'm asked "do you take her for your wife?", I'll say, "sure 'nuff mister, you bet your life!"
