Rhymes At Times

I'm often called upon to write a verse for someone's birthday or a funeral, four or eight lines, rhyme scheme of ABAB or ABBA. But here are no rhyming line ends - those small, same-sound four-footer ones or those that have five feet or even more, oh more, more beats than that, yes more than that, oh more than that. Yes, no rhymes, except at times within lines, yes, as you can guess. Great fun, even for burials or cremations. (March 2022)
