It’s titillating
Almost
To find words that fit
That sit
Well with you
With me
The reader
Is holy
And slowly
All they require
Are rhymes
But
That
Right there
Is a problem
You see
Because I
Cannot
Rhyme for naught
Its difficult
A miracle
For certain words
To flow
To grow
In a way
To stay
With their matches
In perfect harmony
See
That’s what I’m saying
I can’t rhyme
The time
Is against me
Like a flea
Consistently
Hammering away
At my resolve
To not burst out laughing
Because
As you see
This isn’t me
I can’t rhyme
It’s too hard
To be a bard
And make
Soliloquies
In complete fucking
Iambs
Pentameters
Oh god
And there’s more
But that’s besides
The point
Because I can’t
Rhyme
Can’t find words that fit
That sit
In perfect harmony
You see?
