Sat in class with pen in hand
English teachers lesson planned
write us a poem, without any rhyme
you have a few days – there’s plenty of time
So inspiration i did seek
going through books for a week
and every page would set up the same
with two words a rhyming – without any blame
Sing a Song of Sixpence, Jack and Jill
Humpty Dumpty, all from the quill
of a master writer, who’d mastered his art
and educated fellows – would tear it apart
I did my best – and restored a piece
giving the rhymes their release
but end of the day – i’d return to that book
as i liked the original way that they looked
