If I Did Tell You Differently

I Am many decades beyond my life's prime
And my body it is feeling the wear of time
But i will be a rhymer till the day i die
If i did tell you differently that would be a lie
Since the prime of my life i've been a rhyming buff
I am one of those who has penned reams of stuff
To write rhyme is easy as most would agree
And so many far better at it than me
As a younger man i hoped for to be a poet
And be looked on as one worthy of literary note
And though i am one of those who did not make the grade
Every writer is needed in the wordsmith trade
The best days of my life to the forever gone
But for as long as i can i will keep rhyming on.
