[THE POET]
Rhymes, fine rhymes
Rhymes, fine rhymes have I
Rhymes, fine rhymes
Sweet rhymes have I
Rhymes, fine rhymes
Sweet rhymes have I
Sly rhymes, wry rhymes
Neat rhymes have I
To a world too prone to be prosaic
I bring my own panacea
An iota of iambic and a tittle of trochaic
Added to a small amount of onomatopoeia
Lays that sing with rhymes have I
Couplets that ring like chimes have I
Happy rhymes like "Money makes you sunny"
Spicy rhymes like "Virtue can hurt you"
Learnеd rhymes like "The camеl's a mammal"
And others very various
On matters multifarious
Like "beard - sheared"
"Burnoose - loose!"
"Stairs - prayers!"
"Mosque - kiosk!"
"Minoret and parapet"
And many more that I'll beget betimes
Rhymes have I! Rhymes have I!
[THE POET & MARSINAH]

Healthful rhymes

In reference to all events
And climes
