Cannot say that my late mum and dad would have been proud to call me son
Only know that big brother's disciples my sort does not impress
In their eyes I am a failure due to my lack of material success
Of life's material opportunities I did not avail
And in the eyes of many I am one who did fail
But in my early seventies I will not be shedding tears
For my life's missed material opportunities and my materially wasted years
I discovered in my late twenties in my physical prime
That I was one born into life to write rhyme
And rhyme was once a popular form of writing but not anymore
In the twenty first century rhymers are not to the literary fore
And since for it I never receive any money in pay
I have been advised by some to give rhyming away
But for their unsolicited advice to them I do say
I will retire from rhyming on my life's final day
