The Best Of The Rhymers

 The best of the rhymers in the old country town

Yet he remains as a stranger to literary renown

Every local success in rhyme he does celebrate

Yet he is not one the literary critics does rate

As one who is worthy of the title of poet

And it is they who decide should be worthy of literary note

In his early thirties with two young daughters and a lovely and devoted wife

Writing rhyme to him just a hobby in his life

Though not a member of any writers club

On Saturday evenings he recites some of his rhymes at the local pub

And always for him there is an encore

As his appreciative audience call out for more

He may be one the literary critics ignore

But among the country town writers he is to the fore.
