The Laureate of Streatham was a writer of note
Robert Buchanan was a novelist and poet
His stories and poems some of them in rhyme
Original works of genius have long outlived him in time
Buchanan he was in a class of his own
Him and his literary works deserve to be better known
In literary circles seldom talked of today
But with words he was one who did have a way
A writer who did not live for to die old
By far less worthy than he was more books published and sold
Just one of many great deceased writers who deserve greater fame
Not many of his era as good as he was one could name
In his lifetime never financially rewarded for his genius and originality
He was one who lived and died in poverty
But the fans of his writing true to his memory remain
And his poems and his stories often visit again.
Much of his time to his writing he did dedicate
And beauty in his words he did create
Quite an under-rated writer of him not sayoing anything that is new
Among deceased novelists and poets his equals are few.
