"Mucking about with rhyme"


Poem Artwork

A Misfit Born and Bred

(for all the pretty girls)

A misfit born and bred I do
Exactly as I please
But kindly as my mother taught
("God bless you" if you sneeze)

And if I spend the night with you
I'll thank you in the morn
For all the wonders we have wrought
(How lovely to be born!)

The world has turned and I have learned
A trick (or maybe two)
While hardly working I have earned
A place in poetry
A "name" though I have never sought
To turn the world to me

And best of all (as falls the fall)
I've had a roaring time
If quietly if poor and small
Mucking about with rhyme

A misfit born and bred I do
Exactly as I please
But love to entertain you too
With nonsense-lines like these

Not really a mifit, just doing your own thing, Have a 23 year old grandson who is exactly doing that too. We all go through a stage of growing up after we are all grown up too. Be positive and stay positive and things will be alright. Good write**********

...and I thank you for that! Great uplifting muse, even if it never brings a dime, it has and always will be worth more than any price that could, or would be paid for!
Love it!
Love and Peace~

This has a wonderful, light-hearted theme.
