Rhymesters or Poets

To get down to earth

and not get dirty,

exude simple mirth

and not be wordy.

That’s what rhymesters do.

I have known but few

with a tongue in cheek

aura of mystique.

Poets put on airs

but nobody cares.

Being serious

seems crazy to us.

We are having fun

but i am, which one?
