I Write Rhymes
*One day in the not so distant past, in a world far from the Similar one, a friend thought to challenge me to an off the cuff rhyming battle. While I do not have access to her first volley of vocality, I do have my reply to her. Just thought I'd share it here for fun.*
_----------------------_
Say What to the Whoot, Whoot ???
Did you just challange me to a battle of wonderous rhymes
A thing you know you can't win when my mind rhymes all the time
It's almost too easy. I could just sit and unwind.
As I rhyme to and fro and take the title that's mine
Yet this hardly addresses the things you had to say
I'm just gettting warmed up in my own little way
Toying with you is a game I don't usually play
But you called me right out. Right here. On this day !
So what should I do to prove to you, you can't win ?
Do go line for line through your last little hymn ?
Do I assert my rhyme's will, on the slightest of whims ?
Because I could if I wanted without going out on a limb.
But let's just stick to the facts. Let's not go off course
Friends to the end is not a challenge, you dork !
It's just a true state of being, which I fully endorse.
And it's certainly not something which one needs to enforce.
It's odd to me now as I type this on the fly
I wonder how you came to the thought that my last was a reply
Not saying it wasn't, but I still must ask why ?
Because my rhyme had some lines for friends that said "Bye"
You should quite know by now that all my rhymes are complex
they have varied meanings hiden inside of their text
It's all in the way that I make my mind flex
whenever I write about any subjects
Now back to the game that we seem to be caught in
another set of rhyming with all new words brought in
but losing to me is how you'll be taught in
the rhyming good ways of The Snowdog - You sought him !
So if to challenge a master is what you've decided
and from that course you can't be derided
then take a quick lesson as your rhyme is divided
by a circular mind that can't ever be slighted
You claim you're confused. You want to shake me and scream
I'm not sure about you, but to me that sounds mean
You need to look at our friendship to find what you can glean
Have I ever lied or tried to demean ?
So yes..., to the end. That's how far my friendship goes.
With you and all others who are friends that I chose
And now that I'm done I just want you to know
The next time that you challenge don't write something that blows.
Say Whoot to the I told you so !
:D
