I thought I’d like to write a rhyme

How do people find the time ?

Without being pushed into a crime

I don’t know whether you can mime

Spare a dollar or a dime.

I thought a lemon was a lime

Why do people mind the chimes?

I went upstairs,it was a climb

To have a stairlift is a crime

I am god;oh I’m I’m I’m

Somewhere one must draw a line.

Sometimes people pay a fine.

What is yours is mine and mine.

All that money can combine

If you disappear I’ll pine.

Go to bed it’s long past nine

Why on earth do we use rhymes?
