RHYMING
by John T. Baker
Some folks I know are always so
Uptight and super-serious
They scoff at rhyme and spend their time
With verse much more mysterious.

A bit of fun, a pleasant pun,
Frivolity diverting,
They're much inclined to shun and find
Such nonsense disconcerting.

The scraps I write are mostly light
And strive to be amusing;
When I expound on things profound
It's seldom worth perusing.

If I of late pontificate
It's merely pantomiming,
For I confess, with some distress,
I'm hooked, Iguess, on rhyming.
