Example Poem


I've Heard It All Before


  




I am the bottom of the mug 
You see me when you chug-a-lug. 
Look down here for answers, dear. 
I am sure they won't appear. 
That's been tried by many men. 
What the hey, you'll try again. 
I am the bottom of the mug 
You see me when you chug-a-lug.
