Blank verse sucks! It's for lazy men. Even ducks Rhyme their quacks and then, Even hounds, Kittens and such kinds Rhyme their sounds With their tiny minds: "Miaw, miaw, miaw, Tic Tic Tic Tictic, Bow wow wow, Mic mic mic Micmic." Don't you start Talking of Shakespeare! Have a heart For you reader, dear! In his time It was hard to find Diff'rent rhymes Of a useful kind. So, he wrote In his long blank verse, And we dote On his geni-us. In those times There was no Internet. Lists of rhymes Were also hard to get. Dic-tion-aries Were also not around. It was custo-mary To ignore the sound Of the endings. But what about you? Why are you defending Verse that's got no glue? Rhymed verse spinning Don't require a sage. Chime and meaning Will your talent gauge. Use search engines, Seek your rhymings well, Make word endings, Echo like a bell. If you want to Be a poet, then Visit onto Your blank verse again. And re-write it Make it rhyme like this: "Fight-it, bite-it, light-it, Kiss, miss, abyss, Chik-tick-pick Tilly-dilly-lick, Bick-jick-fick Milly-hilly-crick, Bow wow wow, Chow tow how, Pow cow yow, Sow gow fow." Blank verse stinks It's for lazy men. Don't even think Of writing it again.
