Rhyme

Just because I choose not to rhyme

Doesn't mean I can't, I just don't have the time.

My life's a bit busier than yours, a bit more stressful

And you can't honestly tell me yours is anything but sublime

It simply takes far too long to devise

A poem that rhymes and is still a decent size

One that is still something unique, left untried

We both know how you think it's always going to be a reprise

When I can sit down is the only time I can write

Unlike you, my spare time is kept kind of tight

Left composing in the midst of various intervals of interruptions

And of course, always at some ungodly hour of night.

And while you can find the time to redesign your product line

Don't expect me to incline my head just to keep you in line

I really don't think you care at all about the rest of us

'Cause all I see reflected in your eyes is a dollar sign

So, don't tell me I can't rhyme

Because I think we both know, I don't usually have the time

You can accomplish your hearts content, and that's fine

You have the spare time, but I can't keep rhyming a prime.

You've reached the end of published parts.
