Tail-Rhyme
A Tail-Rhyme (also known as a tailed-rhyme) has a specific structure. The piece starts with a couplet or a triplet of rhymed lines. This set of couplets or triplets is then followed by a "tail," which does not rhyme with the couplet or triplet that preceded it. The tail line is shorter than the couplet or triplet lines. In a (tail-rhyme stanza), the tail lines rhyme.
Once, when I was barely three
I climbed up the tallest tree
while Gramma was scolding me;
but I didn't care.
A diaper parachute
left me in my birthday suit
and I must've looked so cute,
floating in mid-air.
I recall drifting for miles
soliciting ahs and smiles,
my butt made the X-files
where they gawk and stare.
Reaching my destination
at the local train station
I felt no hesitation,
and landed right there.
On catching a ride back home
my folks forbade me to roam
though I felt as light as foam,
it's all true, I swear!
