A Rhyme Scene by russ mckay



       I happened onto a grizzly scene
        Which I had never seen before
Parts of poems strewn o'er the desk
Many more upon the floor

It was a case of missing words
Poetry was unfinished and unused
Bits of Sonnets and Limericks
Many torn and all abused

A search of the poet's home was made
        But what no one could find
In the Den or the storage space
Were poems that actually rhymed
