Dare to rhyme
Charles Stewart Rollins Jr 1959 (Meriden, CT)
I dare the reader
Of this verse
To contemplate
When they've
Seen worse
A more incoherent word
Poetic discourse
How absurd
You might suspect
A waste of time
To read this nonsense
Yet, I rhyme!
Door dash, Uber, Bus or Flea
It is none the less poetry.
