I build this story by rhyme,<\/span><\/p>\n

And house at the same time,<\/span><\/p>\n

It is nice to be young like you,<\/span><\/p>\n

Though I’m old I feel young too,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am young, I am as young as I am,<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ll never be old enough to eat spam,<\/span><\/p>\n

Of pig my favorite bite is of cold ham,<\/span><\/p>\n

But I’ll remain a kid and eat plumb jam,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As gravity grabs my bags and pulls down,<\/span><\/p>\n

I won’t let it drop my lips edge to be a frown,<\/span><\/p>\n

Now for my grandkids I may dress as a clown,<\/span><\/p>\n

And since I am the King of Chill I’ll wear a crown,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Note how perfectly constructed each line in rhyme,<\/span><\/p>\n

Is made to extend just a bit more each and every time,<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s see just for fun since I feel so young in my prime,<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ll find words to describe youth in a downward climb,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I rise in the morning and listen to each joint crack,<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps rise is improper if referring to my back, <\/span><\/p>\n

My grandkids will say “PaPa you sure are slow, slow,<\/span><\/p>\n

I may be but the three of you give “PaPa” go,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Help me please to build this word house,<\/span><\/p>\n

A building poem for us and my spouse,<\/span><\/p>\n

We should add slow to build a stack,<\/span><\/p>\n

How does adding slow help a back,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That was smart of you to ask,<\/span><\/p>\n

It was a play on words task,<\/span><\/p>\n

Sideways a house for one,<\/span><\/p>\n

This line and it is done.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
