An Ode to Rhyme

·Quraz

I envy all you poets who can rhyme, Cos I get it wrong all the time, What rhymes with cat? Hat? Buggered if I get any further than that! You compose poetry of such beauty and it flows so fresh, so fruity. I’m stuck with boring free verse I swear it’s a curse. wish I knew rhyming poetry first. So I try with words like mat bat, fat and sat. You see they’re easy to match those type of words come in a batch To rhyme like that, there's just no catch. Then we get words like ferocious, Look I don’t want to sound precocious, I’m fairly clever, I’m not dumb But what I do is suck my thumb And those words just don't seem to come. And what about the hard words? Ones that can only be rhymed by nerds, Like orange… See, now my poem is stuffed…
