A Song Like This

No one asked for a song like this They might ask what my method is I'm writing here about my technique I really don't think that it's unique I find a phrase with some appeal I find a rhyme to make it real It isn't really hard, you know Just start to write, give it a go If looking for extraordinary Just grab a rhyming dictionary Perhaps you'll find some inspiration Rid you of your consternation I like big words as you can see But small ones do the same for me And what if a line is just too darned long? A rightly placed triplet just can't go wrong It doesn't really matter if it doesn't make sense As long as you're writing in present tense Or past or future, make it work Just don't write in non sequitur Sometimes when I'm writing it's like Dr. Seuss At other times a bit like Mother Goose The cadence and the rhyme scheme can be somewhat loose As long as it's like a little red caboose See what I did, don't mean to intrude Now we're in self-referential mode Doesn't really matter what the context is How I choose to write is nobody's biz
