Rhyme & Reason - a reason to rhyme

He scribes one poem in just two years? That fact alone brings me to tears, To write a verse, and so in rhyme, For me, takes very little time. This past weekend, why, I did ode A five verse poem, at friends abode, Took me, down side of half an hour, To pen the words which show some power. So if you wish, don't hesitate   My name, for this post, nominate,   I will ascribe in rhyming form   More poems than he who seems to dorm;   Or by chance he has writers block,   If so his title, should defrock.

I had to send this greeting, The sentiments are true, No other way to say it, Just "Thanks, for being YOU" A bond, it has developed, We're closer it appears, I thank God for this friendship And pray it lasts for years. You are unique, that's certain, Like you, there is none other, And I've no qualms in saying "I love you, as a brother" Composed for a dear friend Dan Porlier

For thirty years you've fathered, But not that long for me, You've shown me love and friendship, And done it all for free. I love our time together, While riding in your truck, With you as my dear father, I have massed out, on luck. The barbeques and hockey, You're almost like my twin, But you support Chicago , Though Boston 's gonna win. I crave the care you give me, It's shown in all you do, And while it's seldom spoken, I really do love you. So on this day to honour The 'pater' of our clan, With love, I send this greeting To my beloved 'old man'. Happy Fathers Day
