Gary's Poem
Some will say that I speak in rhyme
And this may be true from time to time
I know not why these thoughts fill my head
They will not stop till the craving is fed
My family is out there and I fear that I'm worse
I'm the only one in it that took a turn for the verse
I work very hard for the occasional riddle
It's such a shame that they don't mean diddle
Do you see the humor, even a little
Well sit back relax and sink in it'll
Are you still with the program, on the same page
I just need to know that you're legal of age
Did anyone read this, does anyone care
I'm sitting here and my soul is bare.
If you think this sort of thing is just fine
Please show me yours, I've just shown you mine
