Let he with words cast the first poem, and then verse up a storm, as life and others move to harm, but don't expect very much charm, as hardly any gold weight your arm.

the brain will act like it know it
and most of the time show it
thinking of verse to write
almost day and night

as life starts dealing
to verse out your feeling
Let not your pen be trouble
as your life problems double

and let nothing
which will always be something
get in the way
of what you have to say
Depending on how good
but still don't expect much pay
as your verse and life run astray
