Here we are chaps and lasses, a poem that I have written just for you, whoever you are. Four feet per line, rhyming scheme AA, BB, CC and so on, with a half couplet at the end that brings the finale to the poem.
THE OTHER GUY
When you begin to make me cry,
Keep watching for the other guy.
You know the one that wants to be,
The one spending his time with me.
And when you start to scratch away,
To harshly berate me this day.
Call a stop and think once or twice,
As the other guy is quite nice.
And he would warmly hold me tight,
With love so tender through each night.
You should pause and think of the fact,
Which may force alarm and an act:
When our love hearts no longer sing,
The other guy can do his thing.
