"I Write Some Crappy Rhymes That Don't Earn Me a Dime"

I write some crappy rhymes

That don't earn me a dime

Why do I do it? It really doesn't pay

Even if I know it's rubbish

I click the button that reads "PUBLISH"

And I don't correct mistakes along the way

If you're rhyming with "Nantucket"

You really oughta muck it

Or do graffiti on a bathroom wall

You'll get no writing stars

Limericks belong in bars

And your ego might be riding for a fall

So save your bawdy humor

For the local doggie groomer

In highbrow circles, think in lofty thought

If on Helium you're writing

Some may think it exciting

But here's the truth-Whitman you are not!

If you are a lousy poet

Like me, I'm sure you know it

But write to please yourself...don't be denied

Don't let your voice be muffled

Even blind pigs find some truffles

And good or bad, at the very worst you've tried
