Repetition Poem by Jim Yerman

As I endeavor to write a poem a day I think perhaps...perchance
Before I go any further I should apologize in advance.

As my contemplations and reflections string together over time
I’ve come to the realization there may be some repetition in my rhymes.

It is my goal that on a variety of subjects these little rhymes shall touch
But come on, you’ve seen my head, my brain can only hold so much!

Did you know on average we only use 45,000 words in our normal everyday speech
Since I’ve completed over 200 poems...I believe my limit has been reached.

Besides as we get a little older, although it’s a subject we don’t often discuss
For one reason or another...things start to repeat on us.

So my apologies for any mishap, any error or mistake
And any future blunders I am most likely apt to make.

Yes, if I occasionally reiterate or you think: ‘Hey haven’t I read this before? ”
Don’t mock me just remember...sometimes it’s better to ignore.

Don’t mock me just remember...sometimes it’s better to ignore.

Wait! Did I just repeat the same thought..if so I think...perchance
It is fortuitous for me and you that I’ve apologized in advance.
