Excerpt from Random Rhymes
Erhaps, we should not rhyme; Perhaps it's wrong To try our wings In simple song That no one sings; Perhaps, 'tis waste of time When other men Can wake the muse, With poet's pen, Whene'er they choose' Perhaps - but who can tell What we can do Unless we try My friend, can you Say to us why, Perhaps, it is not well To write a rhyme Until we find That we can climb. Be not unkind Perhaps, it's wrong, but pray How learn to fly, To sing, or write, Unless we try A fledgeling's flight Perhaps, to reach some day, A place where fame May hear in time Our humble claim To write in rhyme.
