My personal Welcome

My personal Welcome

A Poem by Rawice
"

I drive people crazy talking in rhyme. This is how i start a conversation!

"

Hello…my name is Royce.
 I am also known as Royce by choice.

That’s because I talk in rhyme,
I seem to do it all the time, and I feel fine,
 but others think It’s a kind of crime.

My African American friends think I’m talking Rap
 but I have told them that’s a bunch of crap.

They say if I talk in rhyme then you’re a sap.
 I just tell them look I’m an English chap

I love to rhyme when I get the chance.
 Since my body no longer lets me dance.

 Words chock and fog my mind from knowing time
then I start talking to everyone in rhyme.

 Some of my friends think I sound like Dr. Seuss
but I don’t like green eggs ham or juice.

 I’m just a simpleton who thinks with his heart,
 hoping my words will make me sound smart.

Not school to write in proper verse,
spelling and grammar have been my life’s curse

 So on I go looking for a truth.
Yet all I’m sure of is I have lost my youth

So tell me your name, who are you?
Because I have no bloody clue.
