JUST TO BE CLEAR....

I never ever say never
when writing poetry
and try my best to just get by
which is pretty plain to see.

In order to maintain a rhyme
it's seldom that I stretch
a line too long to work in words
like the lowly plant which people in this part of South Carolina call American joint vetch.

Cursing is a trait I hate
so you won't see me use it
'cause most poems where it occurs
are hardly worth a shit.

Plain words are what I prefer
like atelier and abele
which never interrupt the flow
of my simple poetry.

You've heard my favourite limerick?

There is a young man in Japan
Whose poems just never will scan
He sits up all night
But try as he might
He always ends up putting as many words in the last line as he possibly can.

what I lack in using tact

Don't underestimate yourself, please let me do that.
I hate it when you start playing around and just right anything because you're blocked or have an old folks brain freeze.(I get those too, often) but I don;t post it here. I'm to embrassed. I guess you're a bigger man than I, (maybe in size, LMAO)
Nice, but don't let it happen again. or I'll take you out to the woodshed. HAHAHA!!
