Verses and more verses
keep running though my head
Some prose
Mostly rhyming instead

Everything around me is
poetry at best
My mind is on
a rhyming quest

Be careful what you tell me
It may end up in prose
Everyone will know
about all your woes

If you should spend a lot of time
telling me your story
I may end up posting it in rhyme
for your everlasting glory

I'll write about your hopes and wildest dreams
About your anger, jealousy and heartbreak schemes
If you're not afraid to spill your guts to me
You'll be sure to see it in my poetry

So please, dear friend
be sure to take heed
don't give me any more
information than I need
