Poems that make you smile

Poems that make you groan

Poems that make you wonder

Why you're reading them alone

Poems that rhyme with rhythm

Poems that simply don't

Poems that to you make sense

I don't have time to play

Poetry fans will like them

Laureates will not

Short stories added for a treat

To thicken out the plot
