Give Up the Rhymes! It's easy!
I never wrote a single poem
Without at least one rhyme
I think perhaps I'll stay at home
And try it just this time
I'll fill the poem with oranges
And things the color purple
Words that rhyme discourages
That confound the rhyming scruple
I'm sure that I can do this
I'm excited just to try
When done I will improve it
To impress and mystify!
Okay, here goes
Orange and purple, the blouse you wore
The ugliest thing, it was
Unmatched with the green and yellow pants
From your long past hippie days (is that a rhyme?)
Your hair now bleached and split
In a shaggy canine style
Not the lovely curls you had
When you were just a girl (oh, that was close, too!)
Soon we celebrate twenty years
Of constant wedded bliss
And though we've shed so many…wet things from our eyes
It's so much fun to remini… remind ourselves of thi… that
Shoot, I can't do it
I quit
Shit...
