So Easy To Read And Not Hard To Recite

So easy to read and not hard to recite
Rhyme is a thing anybody can write
And would be poets many and poets are few
You might say to that tell us something that's new
Still i remain as a fan of old fashioned rhyme
Though literary critics say it is of another time
But we agree to differ it does seem that way
And each to their own as some do like to say
I love the poems of Mangan and Burns and Clare
They surely were true poets and true poets are rare
And though everyone welcome in the wordsmith trade
Few writers of any sort do make the grade
And few ever become the toast of the town
And fewer still do know of widespread renown.
