Am I spent?
Have I lost my poetic muse?
Must I reach for the rhyming dictionary
To craft a meaning that rhymes with 'lose'?
And after that, what comes next?
Another phrase contrived for me to use?
I should tread with care, now, and
Have a care the phrase I choose
And not prolong this game, now,
Lest at last I am forced to use youse.
Have a care, now, I say again
And do not stop the poetic fuse
Or sooner than I care, now,
I'll that ruse abuse.
Insulting scansion, euphony, rhyme and meter,
Beware the words of the poetaster.
If these words do not deter,
Then try rhyming with aster astir.
And should you stay the course, become a reader,
Then, blog help you, I am your master.
