So Why Should I Care

 I never harm anyone i can say in honesty 

 So why should i care what others say of me

The judgmental criticize people who never harm them every day

Their tongues ever wag in a negative way

I have been told as a rhymer i am not good enough

That my rhymes to read seem rather slipshod and rough

But with rhyming words i will continue to play

Despite what the opinionated of me do say

 

I write for enjoyment not for money or literary renown

And the rhymes that come to me in notebook i write them down

And email them to an online literary site

For anyone rhymes are so easy to write

We all have our hobbies in life one suppose

And one person's weed to another a rose

In literature there are novelists, playwrights and poets and rhymers as well

And those who do enjoy writing doggerel

Of self doubt in my mind i planted the seed

And of praise or criticism i do not feel in need

I just live in my own way and do my own thing

And writing of rhyme some joy to me does bring

 

And despite what the judgmental of me do say

My hobby of rhyming i will not give away

I hope to be doing it on the day i do die

If i did tell you differently it would be a lie.
