Thirty Rhymes, Triple Time

"Thirty Rhymes, Triple Time"
by:  Eric L. Boddie

I'm here for so much more than just lore
From the core, what we adore defines our chore
So I implore individuals to soar beyond open doors
Bypass the store, also the shore, even the gore
Pimps have whores, lions have roars, skin has pores
Rich equals poor, two squared, four, cuts leave sores
The groundhog bores, the shooter scores, the pitcher pours
Houses have floors, the seeker explores, prior comes before
Hunters seek moor, comedians use dor, fool equals boor
Boats use oars, evil, neither nor, God....no war

A very clever piece with cleverly sustained '...ore' rhyming. '...pimps have whores, lions have roars, skin has pores,' a fabulous piece! Best wishes, Keith
