Book 25 Page 46
I could never be a poet
I could never be a poet,
I can barely think of a word that rhymes with ‘cat.’
So how about that!!!
I could never be a poet
because when I think about ‘love’ I go all mushy inside
and my feelings take over.
I could never be a poet
I just haven’t got it in me to make rhythm and rhyme come alive.
I tell you; I just haven’t got the drive.
O I could never be a poet
Cause I know; I’d just blow it.
