I Will Never Give Rhyming Away Poem by Francis Duggan

I may not be seen as much of a writer though for many years now a rhyme buff
Some referred to as poets are known to write poetry I'm one of those known to pen stuff
I've written a whole heap of doggerel addictive as many might say
For as long as I retain my health and my faculties I will never give rhyming away
And always something new to write of new rhymes come to me all of the time
I commenced penning stuff in my late twenties when I was in my physical prime
Since then I have not stopped penning it has become a way of life for me
Not worthy of the title of poet but a rhymer of sort maybe
A migrant in a Southern Country thousands of miles from my Homeshore
I do not write for fame or for fortune just for love of it and nothing more
Some become wealthy and famous from writing for me there is no such renown
I penned my first rhymes in Duhallow in Claraghatlea near Millstreet Town
In the Autumn of my existence my better days may be long gone
But for as long as the life's breath is in me I surely will be penning on.
