For As Long As I Can

Years ago i used to think i might become a poet
A fellow well worthy of literary note
But now i realize that thought proved me wrong
To the distinguished literary club i could not hope to belong
Nowadays i write for enjoyment and little else more
This is something i have put in writing before
I am just a rhymer who loves to pen rhyme
One well over three decades past my life's prime
In the mid twentieth century out of penning rhyme i would have done okay
But time does bring change as the wise one does say
For many years i have been a rhyming buff
And i have penned quite a lot of rhyming stuff
If living in ten years from now i will be an old man
But i will go on rhyming for as long as i can.
