No rhyme or reason!

You think you're so terribly clever.
You take photos all of the time.
But one thing - it is clear - you will never,
Is get me to pose for a rhyme!

I like long words that mean something,
like hyperbole, frowsty and squinch.
But if you continue to bug me,
I'll turn into Austin the Grinch.

So now that we've had this discussion,
I trust you now understand,
that rhyming is not so important
As making sure that all the words like sorta scan ... kinda!

⟺


hyperbole - hyper.bowl.lee = an unusually energetic dish

    You tell her Austin. Looks like your staff better fish out a dictionary for some extra long words for you. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
    Best wishes Molly

    because we're sure it must hold more food than ours!

    Um, but Austin, I'd just like to gently point out that you rhymed throughout your whole post. I'm sure that was just to show her that you can rhyme, and quite well, but you prefer those long words instead.

    Er, Austin, in case you hadn't noticed, you have been posing for rhymes quite a bit recently. We think it's grand. You are furry good at it. Just include those long words! We think the rhymin' enhances your literary reputation .....

    Austin, it's hard work getting bipeds trained. I like today's definition - I think it describes my bowl when it's empty and I want the bipeds to do something about it!
