Rhyme

“Sometimes I rhyme, and sometimes I mime, and sometimes I rhyme like a mime with a lime!”

~ Oscar Wilde on Rhyme

Rhyme is a thing, to which poets cling, as they write their trite and poor flavoured shite. When rhyme is made, it is purveyed and portrayed in a story so told as if affluent gold. But what others may find from the artist’s limerick is rarely refined and often anaemic. And so, with haste, I will give you a taste, and hope to baste you in tasteless waste.

History

The history of rhyme goes back to a time where maids and knaves were audacious and brave. Where wenches and witches and bastards and bitches wore frilly pink stitches, and never did shave. With gowns of bright white and bonnets of jet black, they did write and they did write their sonnets with a knack. But in the old tongue did they write their confections, leaving most to be hung with a certain rejection. Though an example there exists that insists and persists to enlist great assistance to these troubling twists. It was made by a Greek, and though it’s antique, it will forever bespeak the intricate technique. And now we will see, a piece fit to be a swallow of a hollow time, and thus, it does follow:

“In the beginning of the world, there was naught but a light,

That spun and swirled throughout the dark night.

It then did produce, in a glorious thunder,

The god named Zeus, in a fruity little number.”

~Socrates and Pocrates

Not Rhyming

NotRhyming is a common practice invented by the Great Suckatpoerty-Seizure. Many people do this when they are lacking of creativity and a brain. Examples:

Roses are Red,

Violets are Blue,

Some poems rhyme,

But Your Mom doesn't.

Words not to use while Rhyming

“Never say vortex, or cerebral cortex, because these two words have no rhythym and don't rhyme and aren't intelligent in the least. !”

A example of a good Rhyme

I know a guy named Pete,

He liked his Meat,

He hid under my sheet,

And sqeezed my Teet.

Latest Research

Rhyme is an active area of research in most universities. One of the latest theories to come from the academic pursuit of this subject is the 'if it rhymes then it's true' hypothesis. Work is in progress to strengthen the theory to prove that something is true if and only if it rhymes. Unfortunately this leads to a paradox because the theory itself does not rhyme. The effort continues to search for an implementation of this theory in rhyme.

there once was a very fat cat

he happned tew eat all his snacks

so his nose became runny

and then he ate a bunny

o he was a very fat cat

This work is closely related to the theory that everything on the internet is true. It is also closely related to Brian Blessed.
