The Rhymers

Like all others they eventually do run out of time
But the rhymers they never do run out of rhyme
Since they have no wish to give rhyming away
They keep on rhyming on until their last night and day
The literary genres are changing quite fast
And literary critics dismiss rhyme as a thing of the past
But the writers of rhyme who with rhyming words love to play
Rhyme on for the love of it and not for money as pay
There are rhymers in every village and city and town
Though the best they can hope for is local literary renown
Twenty first century literary critics who claim to know the worth of poets and poetry well
Does dismiss rhymers as the writers of doggerel
And though the days of rhyme is in the long gone
The rhymers love rhyming and they do rhyme on.
