I thought I’d write a poem

The first I’ve ever done

I’m not sure what should rhyme with which

Hello, is that the sun?

I’ve tried to do this more than once

It’s harder than you think

To get two rows to link together

Hello, do you want a drink?

You see, I seem to start all right

And the second line’s not bad

But after that it goes all wrong

Hello, do you think I’m mad?

In case you haven’t noticed

The last line’s where I get stuck

I can’t think how to carry on

Hello, are you a duck?

Right, I’ll give it one more go

And see what I can do

I’m going to do the best I can

Hello, do you like the zoo?

Ah, now I know where I go wrong

The last line makes no sense

I need a line that ends the verse

Hello, is that foam dense?

Perhaps I’d better leave the rhymes

To folk who know how it’s done

And concentrate on something else

That’ll bring me much more fun.
