Will rhyme for food

Let it be known, let it be said
Long after I'm gone and dead;
That in my lifetime, from so far,
I reached my office in half an hour.

I lost my scarf in the whizzing ride
And yet I take it in my stride
I write forced poems and I laugh
And cheerfully script my epitaph.

*Waits for applause to die down*,
From far corners of this sleepy town.
"Will rhyme for food" is a good try.
"Do tell us more", we all cry.

*Waiting for a bigger applause*

Let it also be known, let it also be said,
Long after you are gone and dead,
that rhyme as you will,
or rhyme as you won't
it is not my intention to taint,
but surely mukta shakespeare you ain't

:P
