An Ode To Writing Ditties

Shakespeare had his thee’s and thou’s,
Chaucer spoke of tales.
The Bronte’s dabbled with romance,
whilst Keats rejoiced the Dales.

With sonnets, haiku and odes to boot,
our ditty needs a place.
Wordsworth touched the mind and soul
with the ditty it’s the face.

Some would scoff and scorn this verse
and say it was not art.
Poems for the great unwashed
is how we want start!

The ditty covers every sphere
from teeth to camel’s humps.
It takes a funny look at life
and drags us out the dumps.

There’s neither rhyme nor reason
why a ditty can’t subsist.
It hits the spot and has a plot,
and clears away the mist!

Whether prose or verse or in between
the ditty’s here to stay.
Long live humour in funny rhyme
that brightens up the day!!
