Fuddy duddies are nice people, Shaun, they keep the joint respectable.
Believe me, there is no work involved. I can do it in five minutes max.
Once I had a buddy
who tried to be a fuddy-duddy
he said my poem was cruddy
and I replied (my face a tad ruddy)
I can write much worse
verse.
1.5 minutes. Ha!
It goes quick when you don't have to bother with a rhyming dictionary or a thesaurus. Man, you don't even have to think! It is dangerous though. In my younger years I wrote greeting card verse. For money. They are no-brainers, but they really drag a girl down into the soiled and seedy parts of life.
Bob, I meant TGIF that was a baddie. But the other one, Lament, had some interesting qualities and solutions. A blade of grass beneath a mower was a memorable line, actually light verse caliber. S2 was pretty bad though, you can be proud of that one.
