For Many Years

For many years i have been a rhyming buff
And the stuff i do pen is only rhyming stuff
My better days in life in the forever gone
But true to my life's calling i keep on rhyming on
And since for my rhyming efforts i never receive any pay
I have been advised by a few to give rhyming away
But what others think of me is their business and this suits me fine
Since what is their business is no business of mine
It has been nearly sixty years since i was a boy
And to me rhyming is a thing i do thoroughly enjoy
I penned my first rhymes in nineteen seventy three
In life most of us have some hobby would you not agree
And i hope to be rhyming until the day i do die
If i did tell you otherwise this would be a lie.
