Julian Scutts Poet Rhyme

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.
