Compulsive Poet

I took a course in literature
and declared myself a poet -
compulsive rhyme,
is it a crime?

Oh please, please let me go
I’ll stop, I’ll stop, I'll stop!

I promise not to write
I promise not to rhyme
or scribble with a meter,
a phrase or water heater

Oh there I go,
I meant it not,
it was all a big mistake
no more, no more!

I’m really done this time,
as soon as I am able
but when I wrote “time,”
spellcheck wrote “timewarnercable.”
