The Poetry Store
I’m looking for a simple rhyme that works
in something complicated, dry, and deep.
A masterpiece without too many qwerks.
Something alive and tart that I might keep.
I’m sorry sir we’re out of simple rhymes.
We have a shipment coming in from Prague.
Give me your address. I’ll send them soon.
There’s some off beat slanted rhymes in aisle five.
I think I’ll check my files and drawers back home.
Amazing how a simple rhyme gets lost
among the stuff we need to make a poem.
Pick out a few and let me know the cost.
