Poetry is

There is a way of building wealth
That most people don’t follow
It doesn’t leave a bad taste
And its easy to swallow

But not everyone has the ability
Or the opportunity
To what has to be done
To get through to me

If they have the talent
Or the inclination
They can write words that rhyme
and titivate the nation

it doesn’t have to be hard
or overly complicated
just make the words sing
and you’ll be highly rated

if you make people happy
and satisfy their needs
you’ll be always in demand
and be the one who leads

but remember to be humble
and thank God for your gift
for not everyone’s so fortunate
to have such imagination
and though it makes you feel great
to rhyme to the nation
to have tune that you can hear
is quite a revelation

but in the end
you have to share
with readers and with listeners
it’s the only way to comprehend
your brothers or your sisters

so lets give thanks
for all we have
for wonder and for beauty
for summer days and winter nights
for sour sweet and fruity
for everyone that we have met
for all creeds and colours
for babies, boys and girls
for fathers and mothers

for dogs and cats
pigs, elephants and horses
for birds that fly up in the sky
for wisdom and discourses

Thanks
