Predictable!
\nby cricketjeff on April 18, 2009.\u00a0 \u00a9 Jeff Green, All rights reserved
\nPresupposing that the closing of the contest doesn’t beat
\nMe to writing\u00a0 some exciting little rhyme that’s nice and neat.
\nI’ll be hoping there’s no doping of the judge (some poets cheat)
\nSo I’ve chances for advances when the entry list’s complete.<\/p>\n
Now I’ve started, open hearted, to compose a little rhyme
\nI must hurry, even scurry, so it’s finished right on time.
\nI shall promise, doubting Thomas, so to fail would be a crime
\nAt the pledge end I’ll give Legend something that he finds sublime.<\/p>\n
How’m I doing, you’re reviewing, what I’m writing for a mate
\nHalfway through it don’t poo-poo it, some applause would be just great.
\nDon’t be horrid if its florrid words and rhymes are all you hate
\nPlease ignore me (or adore me) while I pile it on the plate.<\/p>\n
Now we’re wending to the ending have I lost you on the way
\nAll this punning, verbal funning is a game I love to play.
\nIt’s confusing when your using silly words like popinjay
\nDoesn’t matter that I scatter nonsense verse around all day.<\/p>\n
Now I’ve finished I’ve diminished in my disapproving eyes
\nIt’s not saying merely playing nothing here is great or wise
\nPlease enjoy it don’t employ it for debate or otherwise
\nYou all know it, and you’ll show it, this from me was no surprise!!!<\/p>\n
