Expert

By daiglepoems

When I discovered that I liked it
I started doing it.
The more that I did it.
The better I got.

The better I got,
the more i liked to do it.
Then, before I knew it,
I was really good at it.

I started loving it
and loving doing it.
Then, before I knew it,
I'd addicted myself to it.

I did it every day.
I did it every night.
Did it every which way
until I knew I had it right.

I did it 24/7
seven days a week.
I thought I was in heaven.
My friends called me a "geek".

I did it in my bed.
I did it in the dirt.
Did it in my head
until it made my head hurt.

Did it 'til myfingers bled.
I got it printed on my shirt.
Only then could it be said
I'd become an expert.

    Clever and witty. Nice rhyming scheme. I enjoyed this because of its expressiveness. :)
