This is awesome, Marvin. I feel your pain. There is nothing worse than having the perfect line, only to look up what rhymes with your final words and there is no words listed. This post is so clever of you. Lots of fun.

Thanks for the compliments and the five stars.
I'm glad you thought of it as 'fun'.
Me? Clever! No one's ever accused me of that before. Thank you.

Comment from Gloria ....
HAHA, this is terrific, Marv. It is precisely for those words that have no exact rhyme, but no other word will do, the slant rhyme and assonance come in handy.
This is hilarious and a poem worth remember. Now you've made me laugh and I thank you for that.
Great, good fun. :)

My day is now complete with the arrival of your review. Thank you for your take on this poem.
I looked up the word, 'assonance' and found you weren't calling me a name.
Thank you for the five stars.

Comment from pome lover
well, Mr. Funny Punny,
Your post is cute, but the six is for the title - marvelous!
Made me smile.
Also the perfect pick for an illustration.
Well done, son! good one! (heh)

Good to hear from you and your six shooter. Thank you very much.
It's nice to be around you at any time, but it's much better when you're smiling.
I wasn't looking for that artwork. When I saw it I knew it was the one.
You shouldn't call me son. That's no way to treat your elders.

I've been sitting here trying to come up with a funny pun to answer you with, but the old mind is blank.

When your mind goes blank, you better call Hank.

Hank, (the crank!) was frank.
He said, outright, pointblank,
my pun was so rank, it stank!

Comment from judiverse
This is funny! Very enjoyable, Marvin. I'd never thought about words that you can't find a word for. Great solution--just make one up. I love the last stanza. The length of the next to the last line shows the frustration at not being able to think of a rhyme. judi

Thank you very much for your wonderful review. I'm really glad you like this poem, Judi. You've made my day.
I think Ogden Nash made up words. I made up one or two but I don't know which poem they're in. Thanks for everything.

You're welcome. It's fun to make up words. I enjoy Ogden Nash. judi

lol... i'm glad I went back to re-read this poem... It was totally worth the time and I got my good laugh for the day! These were really good words that you pointed out that don't rhyme, and I like the words you made up. Lol

Comment from Adri7enne
Ah, that's so cute, Marvin. And not even in a contest or anything. Just a funny little rhymer you wanted to share with us. I loved it. I stopped and pondered and looked through my brain files and neither could I come up with rhymes for 'silver', month, or purple. Lol! So I'll stay away from those words if ever I'm writing a poem. Entertaining!

Comment from heart of Lou
This is a well-written, imaginative and humorous poem that brought a smile to my sombre face. There are many words without a rhyme, as we tend to find out when we want to write a rhyming poem.

Comment from Cheryl1957
Very cute poem. Well written. It made me laugh, remembering all of the times I have been writing a poem searching for that perfect word that rhymes....going through the alphabet making up silly words along the way. How clever for you to actually use those words in writing this delightful poem. Thanks for sharing!

Comment from Earl Corp
There wasn't a poem here to rate. All there was was the graphic which without words didn't make sense.
There are probably many more words with no rhyme.
Was this meant to be the poem? I thought it was notes at the bottom.
Ok Now I get it. Rhyming poem that's funny equals five stars in my book (even if you had to make up some rhyming words.)

Comment from phill doran
Hello Marvin
OK, the bad (but correctable) news is that very few people will be able to read this text as it is red on black and almost invisible,. Go into the edit mode and change the font colour to something lighter.
It'd be a pity not to, as the poem is very funny and should be widely seen (I had to cut-and-paste it into NotePad to read)
This is witty and well thought out: I wish you well with this (once you have changed colours!) and with your further writing.
cheers
