I Tried To Write A Nursery Rhyme Poem by Phil Soar

I tried to write a nursery rhyme
To make the kiddies smile
I gave up when my words were weak
And really quite futile

The creatures that I wrote about
To attract the child's attention
Were just a little gruesome
And too horrible to mention

Perhaps I should have wrote about
A rabbit with a stutter
Or perhaps a pig with a wobbly snout
Or a cow that just ate butter

Either way, my rhyme was poor
So I should start again
And maybe if I write some more
It'll be right in the end
