My Ode To the Netherlands

Forefathers were Dutch
Came through in the clutch

Never needed no crutch
Thank you very much

Ain’t never been there
(No money to spare)

Hope Elly will share
expensive plane fare

If I win her contest
I shall not protest

Quite sure she’ll detest
and think I’m a pest…

This is really a monorhyme but I cheated and made it a couplet, so what?
