Here's one I just wrote this minute to post here:

Lament

In olden times
a poem that rhymes
was, for the course, just par.

No eyebrows raised,
no folks amazed
at all the rhymes there are.

But then came Walt
whose full assault
on rhyme soon drew a crowd,

and now they say,
"We'll let you play,
but rhyme is not allowed."
