Analysis of Sorry, Good-Bye Rhyme
No more split-tongue, stutter-butter,
Time to skip my all time rhyme-mutter;
What is this prescription lain diction,
Other than some addiction to fiction?
No one really talks this way anyway,
Cept' to smother word on your face;
Can't you see this is pompous folly,
A Dr. Seuss in your goose, by golly!
My diagnosis under review pending,
For better or worse my rhyme ending;
I've tried to write in manner less bold,
My surprise, that way too, solid sold!
