Ignorance Is Bliss

I don’t need no stinking workshop

in order to write a poem.

It seems like the rules never stop

and i don’t want to know’em.

I am just a rhyming fool

who skipped the poetry school.

I write what comes naturally

and it seems good enough for me.

I have an imagination

and a happy inclination.

I don’t have a writer’s block

to make me stare at the clock.

The rhymes simply flow out of me.

Simple is my philosophy.
