I think it’s time for a poem
I said aloud one eve
I haven’t written one for days
At least three I do believe

But what kind of poem should I write
And what should it be about?
Shall I deal with themes profound
Or nonsense shall I spout?

Philosophical and worthy
Is perhaps the path to tread
But a poem about nothing
Might tick the box instead

Yes I think I’ll leave the wisdom
To people with more time
For a poem is not worthless
When it’s got a pleasing rhyme.
