Jimmy The Bush Poet

He may not be seen as a writer of note
But he is good with rhyming words Jimmy the Bush Poet
One who may have been more famous in a long gone time
Yet he can spin quite a good yarn in rhyme

In the local pub his is a well known name
His poems have brought to him widespread local fame
A young man in his mid twenties with a baby daughter and a young wife
Writing rhymes in his spare time his hobby in life

With rhyming words one who does love for to play
Five days a week in the Shire Council he works for his pay
Bush Poets in the twenty first century becoming a rare breed
And of more of his kind the Wordsmith Trade is in need

His type of poetry the literary critics dismiss as doggerel
But in his distinctive rhyming style good stories he does tell
No other like him in the old country town
Where he does not have a rival for literary renown

Tall and dark haired and handsome in his mid twenties and quite a clever man
Of rhyming ahead of him of time quite a long span
And though he is one worthy of literary note
His kind literary critics never rate as a poet.
