To My Great Uncle...

*This may not all be true, but was written for fun.*

I have a Great Uncle,
That writes lots of poems.
This guy is amazing,
Too bad you don’t know him.

His rhythm is perfect,
His rhyming is divine,
And though he don’t know it,
…I have built him a shrine!

But I pray to the gods,
Every day, every night,
That one day just like him,
I will hopefully write.

But then every day comes,
And each day ends without…
Seeing how he writes well,
Will I ever find out?!

So I scream and I cry,
And I yank out my hair!
Why’s he so much better!
This really isn’t fair!

Sure, I forget words,
And go comma happy,
But is that an excuse,
For ratings so crappy?!

But I swear to you…sir.
You will be outdone!
That I promise you:
Bobby Lou Stevenson!
