I Tried To Write A Poem

   I tried to write a poem, 
And I tried to make it rhyme.
I thought it was easy, 
Because people do it all the time.

But when I sat down
With my paper and my pen. 
I had to scratch the words out, 
And try it all again.

So I tried to write another one, 
And I tried to make IT rhyme.
But when I read it over, I wondered...
“What went wrong this time?”

I tried to write a poem, 
And it took me all night.
Well, here’s the finished product...
Did I do it right?
