No Time To Rhyme!

There’s no time to rhyme today,

No time at all!

I woke up two hours too late.

I slipped from the shower spray,

Had a great fall,

And burned half the food on my plate!

The traffic was frightening,

Ungodly, unreal!

A truck of canned turnips exploded!

A big bolt of lightning—

A clap and a peal!

And all of the lights overloaded!

And now I’m at work

And the boss is approaching

To royally chew out my hide.

That big stupid jerk

Is reproaching, encroaching,

It just boils my bran flakes inside!

So there’s no time to rhyme today.

Sorry, old friend!

My glossary’s stuck on its shelf.

But hey, it’s okay,

You can mend this loose end!

You’ll just have to fend for yourself!
