Forced rhyme
Is a violent crime
To which critics have quite an aversion.
Brute force, I’ll concede,
Is a dastardly deed—
But what’s wrong with a little coercion?

I love this. This needs to be hanging in the dorm room of every English major in the country.

I know forced Rhubarb is a wonderous dish.
So why can't I force a rhyme whenever I wish.

Scrumptious!
Hahaha!
When I feel I've bashed the corners off a little too much I just plead poetic license.
Very witty,

Can this be true? S&M you do – while herding verbs in verbiage, or adjectives to bondage give, perverse inverse with wordage… I must admit, I’ve oft times hit, a noun upon the noggin, to driven the theme, I make them scream, while threadbare schemes I’m flogging – but I am just an engine ear… and press the press pneumatic, and unlike you, have dimmer view, and never knew didactic. But if you say, it’s all fair play… the use of the odd spanner… I’ll leave the sledge, and even pledge, I’ll just use the rubber hammer!
I hope the world is treating you right Nando!

PS. nothing wrong with coercion, in fact i like it. -
Well ain’t it true - it would never do to sardine some poor syllables,
Or crudely cram adjectival jam into small rhyming fritter balls,
But if Nando needs to nudge a noun… or ‘vice’ various vestigial verbs,
Who among us lowly few, could criticise ‘god’s’ words?

Ha,ha...I liked this clever bit. And you're right indeed...although I'm probably guilty somewhere of more than coercion!
-
It's really bad
And a little sad
When people have to force
Words together....of course
-
What can I say but I love it. Anything that is well written, to the point, and makes me laugh is indeed a grand write.
