Words that don't quite rhyme
Make the best rhythms
And they ignore best
As a possibility
And don't even worry about
Not quite as a metric
For anything
For something
For nothing
For they don't measure
They aren't Schoenbergian
They aren't hip hoppian
They aren't Tom Bombadill
These words that are just out of step
A little out of tune
They aren't the same as each other
And yet they come from the same twenty six
Re-doubling all over the fix
And when they do rhyme
One can tell that it's time
To move on to the next location
Before the back of the neck sunburns
