Since I Am One Not Worthy Poem by Francis Duggan

Since i am one not worthy of literary note
I would not be so arrogant to call myself a poet
Just one who enjoys penning rhymes as i have said before
And everyday to my numbers i keep adding more
Since i am not one with a literary degree
What is or is not poetry why do you ask me
It is the literary critics on this who decide
Their knowledge on poets and poetry to them a source of pride
I loved reading rhymes when i was a young boy
And writing them nowadays i do surely enjoy
And i hope to be rhyming until the day i do die
If i did tell you different this would be a lie
And though my best days in life in the forever gone
A tiny voice within me urges me to rhyme on.
