The Little Rhymer
The Little Rhymer
I am a little rhymer
As happy as can be
I eat my words for breakfast
And different ones for tea
I'm learning from the Masters
How to rhymy be
Shakespeare, Yates and Ogden
Nash and Emily...
Who was a rhyming genius
Used slant rhymes cleverly
I've yet to master slant-like rhymes
A learner still I be
I need to climb this rhymic hill
Get past my Jack and Jill
Cos nursery rhymes aren't good enough
For posting up on WOL
I've suddenly just realised
Jill slant-rhymes with WOL
I'm learning from the Masters
I'll get there, yes I will
The WOL crowd do support me
(Also a happy bunch)
Sorry, forgot to tell you
Also eat words for lunch

You certainly are a rhymer
Your work will testify
But I know one who coverts you
And ther rhymer name is... me
Okay I changed the syllable
With a slight turn of phrase
But it's good to change the rhythm
To keep the reader fully engaged
Not all lines are rhythmic
But the rhymer will chage to fit
And often they will invent a word
Like rhyming'poetilic'
Some rhymes they have a reason
But not all reason have a rhyme
It's always been this way, you know
From way back in Shakespeare's time
So to the WOL out crowd
With the comments I disagree
Beacuse jack and jill's a classic
Of rhyming poetically
