Watermelon is a hard word 
to try and find a rhyme
And I thought that I could
If I would take the time

So, I've travel far and wide
From Mount Dora to Saint Helens
But couldn't find a word
That rhymed with

 watermelon

I have asked Honest Men
all the way , Down to a Felon 
I've whispered pretty please
Other times simply yellin'
Searching every corner of the earth just like Magellan
And I still can't find a rhyming word for

 watermelon

I've pondered over books
From real trash to Best Sellin'
Worked out every rhyme scheme
Till my brain started swellin'
If Mister Webster knows,   he for sure ain't tellin'
About a word that just might rhyme with


watermelon

If you had travelled to Devon in the Uk, on the sea bay you’d have met my friend Ellen, she’s as sweet as a watermelon….. Beryl
