i do not have a pleasant voice (Rhyme Pattern 1 : SS) Ephraimcrud's poem rework by Rula

I don't have a pleasant voice
so when I attempt to croon
the result is far,far from a tune
but rather a croaking type noise. (first stanza done by Stan)

My notes aren't always balanced
they're either sharp or flat,
but I don't give a jot for that
as I'm by mood influenced.

Some while ago I wrote a song,
I called it 'Song for Jenny'
but my doubts grow as oft plenty
that to her my voice won't ding dong.

I sent the tape to charm her ears
to see what joy it would bring her,
'nice song -but oh, the singer!'
she replied to confirm my fears.

So on this rather doleful note
I'll leave my listeners cheerful,
for they'll no more get an earful
of the many songs I wrote!

THE ORIGINAL

i do not have a pleasant voice,
i cannot sing in tune.
the trouble is, i have no choice,
i do so love to croon.

my notes may turn out sharp or flat,
or somewhere in between;
i do not give a jot for that -
my temperament is mean.

some while ago i wrote a song,
i called it 'Song for Jenny'
my voice was weak, my hopes were strong,
but my misgivings many.

i sent the tape to charm her ears
and see what joy 'twould bring 'er,
but her reply confirmed my fears:
'nice song -but oh, the singer!'

so on this rather doleful note
i'll leave my listeners cheerful,
for of the many songs i wrote
they'll no more get an earful!

AMEN
