Better Luck Next Thyme

A poet once tried to rhyme “turmeric”:
he ate ten big jars, and then murmured “Ick!”
His taste buds murdered,
poor dear old Bernard
bolted up three flights of stairs to be sick.

Next time he tries to rhyme with a word that's absurd, he needs to make sure the bathroom is downstairs. Just sayin'. Cute and clever, are your words. Thanks for the smile, this evening. :) Brandy
