Of Cabbages and Kings
As all poets will know, there are times
when it's difficult searching for rhymes.
What on earth can rhyme with 'cabbage.'
apart from 'ravage' and 'savage'?
Hmm, I dimly recall the name 'Babbage.'
Charles Babbage, I think, was a boffin
Pah! This path will lead to the coffin.
Hope undying yet springs.
There's much more that rhymes with 'kings'
with words such as 'brings,' 'sings' and 'wings,'
among other interesting things
So now is the time to toil
in the realm of much that is royal.
