Do Not Tell Me

Do not tell me what i do is a waste of time
Since i get so much enjoyment out of penning rhyme
Though for doing it i never receive any pay
I add to my numbers of rhymes every day
Rhyme was quite popular up to half  of a century ago
But like most things it does seem time has become it's foe
By the literary critics a rhymer of today is not looked on as a poet
Or not seen to be as one worthy of literary note
And since i feel no desire for literary success
Any literary purist i have no desire to impress
But to those who enjoy reading my rhymes i feel grateful indeed
Recognition is something everyone of is in need
But to those who tell me i ought to give rhyming away
They are entitled to their opinions is all i can say.
