I had the same troubles as Susan with FRA-gile, FU-tile, etc. For me, light verse brings stricter rhyme expectations — I like to hear all the rhymes click firmly into place in a funny poem, so that they don't draw attention from the other surprises.

I can feel your pain with the scenario. With one of my driver's license photos, the clerk actually SMIRKED when he looked at it, as if pleased that he'd saddled me with a particularly unflattering photo for the next ten years.
