Temple Builder. I Do Object

 

I read something the other day

To which I do object

I found it out of order

'Cause me it did affect

 

The Temple Builder did suggest

The Rhymers Club did not

Write poems which were meaningful

But play and tommy rot

 

I would suggest the Builder

Go look at what we wrote

It was a mix of serious/fun

Unlike the Builder's quote

 

“This is no Saturday Rhymers Club

We're something bigger, something

more meaningful than playful banter”

(Aspiring Poets Wanted, Temple of

Indominitable Poetry. Thurs 17 Jan)

 

PostScript

 

I am a serious rhymer

I also play with fun

The game is don't-mess-round-with-me

I hold a sniper's gun

 

I have had encouraging and fruitful

contacts with the Temple.

Stay tuned
