Because I Don't Give A Damn

I like to write my poetry

With words that seem to fit

I check my rhymes count syllables

And all that format shit

Sometimes the rhyme's a little off

Or the cadence misses step

But then I like it anyway

And the line it will be kept

Sometimes I just will go off

Not caring how it sounds

The message more important

Than staying within bounds

Don't need to sound like Dylan

With abstract image flow

Cinderella she seemed so easy

Down on Desolation Row

I kinda like ole Percy French

One poem I hold quite dear

About that Count Ivan Skivar

And Abdul Abulbul Ameer

Or Robert Burns that Scotsman

Taking Satan on to task

I'm sure sma' pleasure it can gie

But someone had to ask

Know that there's a thousand more

I've heard as time's gone by

I took a bit from every one

'Twas added to the pie

Some are filled with happiness

Some filled with plangency

I've taken them from my life

And told the tale of me

Don't know if this has taught you

Just who the hell I am

But it really doesn't matter

Cause I don't give a damn
