Silly Poem

 

No matter how hard I try,

I have little use for poetray.

I cannot produce a decent rhyme

At this or any other time.

 

I do not think it's swell

To say that a tortoise' shell

Has its own eccentric smell.

 

Or that a graceful otter

of clams is a great spotter.

 

So, I haste to say goodbye,

Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my.

 

My friend, the poet Estelle Gilson, wrote:

For a man who has disdained poetry as an art.

I would say Silly Poem is an excellent start.
