Sorry, Good-Bye Rhyme

Tracy Bollinger

No more split-tongue, stutter-butter,
Time to skip my all time rhyme-mutter;
What is this prescription lain diction,
Other than some addiction to fiction?

No one really talks this way anyway,
Cept' to smother word on your face;
Can't you see this is pompous folly,
A Dr. Seuss in your goose, by golly!

My diagnosis under review pending,
For better or worse my rhyme ending;
I've tried to write in manner less bold,
My surprise, that way too, solid sold!

I recently found out my grandmother used to rhyme all herletters to anyone. Go figure. I hope you all enjoy my ranting! I do like what I've seen other's post. more…
