Since I Was Twenty Seven

Since i was twenty seven more than three decades in time
I have done my share of scribbling penned a heap of doggerel rhyme
With me it is an addiction i just scribble on and on
Though old age on me is looming and my better years long gone
Every day a few more doggerels and the numbers multiply
That I've got a penning addiction is a fact i won't deny
I've been a student of Nature ever since i was a boy
And a walk in her quiet places is a thing i still enjoy
When the wild birds chirp and whistle in the sunshine on the trees
And there is a pleasant coolness in the freshening evening breeze,
Some people i know quite well tell me to give penning stuff away
Why waste your time doing something for which you do not receive pay
But i must feed my addiction and they do not understand
Why i can feel a bit happy with a biro in my hand.
