Eight-line Poems

A Middling Song

A Middling Song

The fact is I was born in the middle
Of England and maybe this is why
I’m on the fence and in the middle
Of the roads I take, low or high.
Of all Ages I prefer the Middle,
But the one in the middle
Sings. “Hey diddle diddle,”
‘Cos he’s just a pretty face.*


Line Count: 8
Oh, it has rhymes but it’s a bit of a mess.
For Express It In Eight
Prompt: Middle.
Note: A quote from a Manfred Mann song of the sixties.
