The Lyrics
In olden poems, rank of perfection
Was based on the rhyme selection,
Now, none are chose..
Everything's Prose
Artful lines from A. Lord Tennyson
Gave eye treats like meats of venison
Now, no does,,
Everything's Prose
The lines are plain, today
Like a chain, today
A lost train, today
No refrain, today
Just sound strain, today
It's insane, today..
In 'em, no good rhythm flows..
The pages of rhyme dictionaries
Are now mats for caged canaries
That's how it goes..
Everything's Prose
Stanza rules, on cliff edge, teeters
New style's designed for cheaters
Cuz' less thought shows..
Everything's Prose
Mod authors can't compete with classic
Penned monsters like in Park, Jurassic
Their books we close..
Everything's Prose
If Junes and moons you liked,
Lyric'd tunes you liked,
Love and dove you liked
Of, above you liked
Cousin'd vowels you liked
Give out big howls, you might,
For some Edgar Allen Poes..
At new po-etiquette, I'm stewin'
No time soon, will I be doin'
Unrhymed verse shows..
(Or) Anything Prose
Not Anything Prose

great one about the woes of prose! all 5s
Sir ~L'Air de Farce~, The Mighty Duke oDouble-Wide, this is romantic, & I can see old Fred & Ginger 'Puttin' On the Ritz' to this ditty!
A fox trot with Edgar Allen Poe?
Thank you, Harry, LoveDove, and 2Eagle
You are truly upping your own bar of late, AF... A *really* good one here... n' hear!
Thank you much, TJC
very clever take on a classic song...my fave of the day
Yep; esp. liked "po-etiquette". As Cole Porter said in the OS, "Good poets ... once ... now ... writing prose". I used the same OS in http://www.amiright.com/parody/misc/ellafitzgerald44.shtml and described in http://www.amiright.com/parody/misc/irvingberlin22.shtml the agony and ecstasy of a rhymer.
