designs

I’d rather not rhyme

perhaps you’ve noticed

i mean, it happens sometimes

but it's not something on which I’m focused.

 

in my opinion

rhyme is corrosive,

distracting, unattractive

and absolutely the grossest

 

Sure, Shakespeare may have rhymed

but are we sure he wasn’t AI?

I wasn’t at the globe

I wasn’t with him at home.

 

Were his royal plots fake news?

Maybe his ladies weren’t all shrews,

- did Trinculo actually lick a shoe?

I don’t know, but let’s not crown rhyme

in all our designs, as desirable all the time.

A song for this:

IDGAF by Dua Lipa [E]

Change My Mind by The Motels
