I write a lot of rhyming verse – it comes out line-by-line;
English is my mother tongue, and a faithful friend of mine.
She favours me with words for free : I’ve cracked the Rhyming Barrier;
If you dread verse like ’flu or worse, beware – for I’m a carrier !
A rhyme can sound a call to arms, can make you laugh, or weep;
Insult a king, lure lovers’ charms, or lull a babe to sleep;
As random thoughtless words can soothe or wound a heart that’s broken
So thoughtful verse is better — or worse ! – especially when it’s spoken.
We’ve published one wee book of verse, entitled Brucie Bilby;
His sales are not exactly huge, but hopefully they will be;
You’ll love his illustrations; his sincerity is clear : –
Brucie has a vital message that he wants you all to hear!
