I am not a good writer

I am not a good writer -
guess it’s never meant to be;
I am not a good poet -
and that from my works you see:
for trifling little rhymes I write
which are neither clever nor polite,
and my words are but dull and trite
(for I am really not so bright) …

Oh, but if they your fancy tickle –
Be generous: give me a nickel!
