Perfect Rhymes Do Not Poetry Make

The larger the bird, the larger the turd
   The bigger the tart, the louder the fart
The more beans he ate, the darker his fate
   The more he drank, the more he stank

All the lines above rhyme perfectly internally
   Yet to call them poetry rankles eternally

I like the way your mind works - a bit odd but - - -

Yeah, this one is (more than a) bit odd... As far as minds working goes, thanks for the compliment---and the feeling's mutual, Mike. Thanks again, gw

Yeah, it's clean too -- unlike the vulgarity of the four lines that followed. :) gw
