Though your verse is metrical,
and your repartee is true,
where are all the rhyme words, Robert?
In eight lines I count just two.

I was disappointed, Robert,
as I read beyond "patootie"
that there was no rhyme awaiting.
Wasn't it your solemn duty?

Still, your verse has charm, I'll grant you,
spritely wit that makes me smile.
There's just one thing: Robert, can't you
make it rhyme once in a while?

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad you're here.
I do not want to pick a feud!
I just love rhyme. I hope it's clear.
I am not trying to be rude.
