I wanted something to rhyme
With the word lime
As I found out
I still had a doubt
Was the word right?
Or did I have to re-write?
I sat and thought another word
That could rhyme with bird
I thought how about curd
Was there nothing to rhyme with bird?
Or did I have to change the word?
I sat and thought another one
That would rhyme with fun
As I baked in the sun I had a lot of fun. No!
Ahh! That’s just absurd
How about this
Were there none
To rhyme with fun?
Now I thought to find something,
Rhyming with sing
As I was thinking, I realised
The title itself wasn’t finalised
I quit the idea of rhyming.
Instead I went to miming.
