\nIn just eight posts…I cannot go on<\/p>\n
\nI have gained no wisdom…I’m no sage<\/p>\n
\nyet, I’m hooked on Rhyming…so it’s time to bow<\/p>\n
\nIt’s been a truly challenging day<\/p>\n
\nHere’s One more Rhyme…my apologies! <\/strong><\/p>\n
\nMy vocabulary’s small
\nI simply write my thoughts in Rhyme
\nI cannot ignore the CALL<\/p>\n
\nmy CUPPETH RUNNETH OVER…
\nCorny Words grow into verse
\nand leave me in the clover…<\/p>\n
\nat silly words I’ve written
\nNatural Medicine…me thinks
\nI know, ’cause I’ve been bitten<\/p>\n
\nand resort to alliteration!
\nI’m a hopeless case…so never mind
\nI’ll continue without hesitation! <\/p>\n
\nshunning all the rules
\nends up …going down
\nwith the Ship of Fools!”
