Being poetically impaired is an art,
But one such that makes me feel smart!
I try my best
With unmatched zest
To write each one of these from the heart.

I don't know where to begin,
And since I'm not sure if I'll win,
I'll just have some fun
'Til my attempt's done
Then say, "Yes! I endured to the end!"

Now you've seen firsthand my impair,
And as little as you probably care,
I just have to say
Have a nice day!
(Even if you don't like Irish flair.)
Shakespearian tongue-twister:

To sit in solemn silence
In a dark, dank dock
In a pestilential prison
With a lifelong lock;
Awaiting the sensation
Of a short, sharp shock
Of a cheap, chippy chopper
On a big black block.

Hi! Just a really quick review!
I liked your poem. It was quirky and humourous and whitty and coy. I've exhausted all the descriptive words I can muster regarding this piece! lol
I have to say, I generally dislike rhyming poetry. That's just me. But suprisingly, I actually did like this poem. It made me smile.
Well done, keep writing!
