Poem by Wayne Hepburn - Rhyme For A Mosquito

Rhyme For A Mosquito

I think I shall write me a rhyme, I said,
And suddenly thoughts rushed into my head.
A topic I need, from this jumble of thought,
How about rhyming the mosquito I caught?

Now what can I write about a mosquito,
And what will rhyme with it, anyway?
The only match in my head is torpedo.
Could it be that I really have nothing to say?

So what is the difference and what is so new,
About people talking and writing when they,
Have nothing of substance or value to say,
To share with the world but; do it, they do.
