TIWESDAEG

Why do poems have to rhyme?
Well, they don't, not every time.
It's polite though, when writing verse
To use poetic rules, what could be worse?
Oh, I know all about William McGonnagal
And Robert wot rites pomes et al
But they are exceptions not the rule
Don't copy them, don't be a fool.
Put your big boys pants on to write an epic
Unless you want readers who are apoplectic.

I reread that rhyme,
Be it just one more time.
The point you made was thin,
About the size of a pin.
I believe Robert could outdo it,
He doesn't need a wand,
Unfortunately he had no time to do it,
He was outside sitting in his pond.
