I'm glad to see my readers grow
Numbers of readers, glad to know
What do I do right? Wonder why
I know - I shall ask AI!
Bad news, I do not have a lot
Most of my reader are just bots
But my poems are a success
I've got lots more bots, and not less.
Oops, obviously not less but fewer
Grammarly will correct my grammar
So, why waste - precious hours on this?
Will AI write posts quickly, for a kiss?

Some folks don't buy books for themselves
To give themselves a laugh or lift
They just by books at Christmas time
For children and neighbours as gifts
They never read to help themselves
Ask a chemist of doctor for health
Why pay, the NHS is free
And use a bank if you have wealth
The cleaner never reads my books
Nor asks me, 'What is life's meaning?'
She simply asks, 'When am I paid?'
Then gets busy with the cleaning.

How many readers have I got?
Less than fifty, that's not a lot
Oops, oh no, less should be fewer
I'm a re-reader, re-doer
Charlotte Bronte wrote just four books
She wan't known for her good looks
I've written more, how well I've done!
Though my best book counts buyers - none
Was it the book price or the size?
Was I too shy to publicize?
But I won't worry, nor be perplexed
When one book's done - on to the next!
Anne Frank's hidden diary, later unfurled
Now one of the best-sellers in the world
If you read this, what must I do?
Be proud of one reader, thank you.

When you need a simple rhyme
There's no need to waste your time
Type synonyms and a Thesaurus
Roget's done the hard work for us
D'you need new words? Just look online
No need to spend a single dime
Synonyms crowd the thesaurus
Repetition needn't bore us
If syllables outrun your line
Count on your fingers, you'll be fine
Don't let all life's stresses gnaw us
When you're tired, write a chorus
When big news is all grime and crime
Small positive words seem sublime
Good words open new doors for us
That's why readers all adore us
In the daytime, or after dark
Poets and speakers leave their mark
Life has found a new job for us
All our keen readers implore us
You do not need to waste your time
Wracking your brains to think up rhymes
Roget wrote in his thesaurus
He's done all the hard work for us.
Each proud nation's patriots climb
Place ads at stations, flash flags and signs
Even those who never knew us
Send songs, hymns, and prayers, to us
Recycle, improve what went before
Words links chains, change people, add more
Thought and research prove chains are true
I'll pass these gold-plate words to you.

Chains in a necklace was what I was thinking, not chains holding you down.
