They say that i'm a poet
and that i just don't know it
but of course i don't rhyme!
well, not all of the time!

They say that it's a pain
rhyming again and again
they say one day they will crack!
and yet who is keeping track?

I suppose that they are right
rhyming's something i can't fight
unless i ended with orange...
dang it!

Really nice writing, the poem is very enjoyable and has a fun vibe to it, which I liked very much. Please keep writing, while I think of words that rhyme with orange, haha.
