Rhymers

An old saying that has lived through the decades of time

That anyone that can write if they wish to can write rhyme

Though not everyone on this would choose to agree

It depends on who you ask is how it seems to be

Most rhymers in rhyming words do love to play

And that rhyme too has it's standards does seem true to say

Though most twenty first century literary critics who for their literary opinions are paid rather well

As unworthy of their crioticisms dismiss all rhyme as doggerel

But some will tell you that rhyme is far from dead

And it will make a literary comeback in the years ahead

Though long gone are the days of the rhyming poet

Rhymers nowadays are not seen as worthy of any literary note

And though most rhymers never daydream of literary renown

There are rhymers in every village and city and town.
