THE WORST ATTEMPTS AT RHYMES BY VERY BAD POETS
The intrepid very bad poet doesn't let something as simple as not having
the right word in mind get in his or her way. Sometimes a bad poet
stretches so hard for a rhyme that we as readers are forced to do a
little stretching on our own, as in the following prime examples of
truly creative attempts at rhyming:
from "In a Book-store" by Francis Saltus Saltus
Sad, on Broadway next afternoon,
I strolled in listless manner,
Humming her most detested tune,
And smoking an Havana.
from "The Light-Bearer of Liberty" by J. W. Scholl
Gooing babies, helpless pygmies,
Who shall solve you Fate's enigmas?
from "Indian Corn" by Rev. William Cook
Corn, corn, sweet Indian corn,
Greenly you grew long ago.
Indian fields well to adorn,
And to parch or grind hah-ho!
