I enjoy these little snippets of verse

Some rhyming, those usually much worse

Than I could have ever imagined

Or even perhaps, perchance to fashion,

Out of words and so-called emotion

With a little caring and some devotion.

This publication that does remain

My mind's auction, it's just not the same

And for all of my rhymes, my ramble

This one. today, is merely a sample.
