Forced Rhymes

Forced rhymes,
Is it a crime?
Time goes by in the blink of an eye.
Forced rhymes,
Is it a crime to create verbal slime?
To slander one’s message with nonsensical banter?
Concentrating on a consonant,
Or fixing on a vexing vowel,
How the words twirl of the tongue!
How they prance of the page, oh how
they elegantly howl and grizzly growl!
To dance without worry,
You’re not in a hurry.
To salsa and tango,
Oh how the time goes!
Forcing rhymes,
Without rhythmic times,
To rhyme without reason or meaning,
To float happily on a word with all of your being,
To rhyme to pass the time,
No, forced rhymes are no crime.
