A Poem A Day Keeps The Critic Away

I'd rather write a poem
Than do most anything
But gaze into a sunset
Or announce the syllable "ping"

Ping ping ping ping
Ping ping ping ping
A funny sound is ping
Not unlike a ring

Or a thing or two to do
(But what if there's more than two??
Whatever will we do??)
I suppose we can make do

Often we do make do
But you hardly ever hear
Of someone making "don't"
Unless they've drunk ten beers

Then they can't make diddley
If they knew what diddley was
I don't know myself
Only the Wizard of Oz

Knows the meaning of diddley
But sadly, he ain't talkin' 
And  if he ain't talkin', well,
I'm just gonna start walkin'

Away.
