Today’s poem is called ‘This is One of Those Poems without any Rhymes’.
![This is One of Those Poems without any Rhymes
This is one of those poems
without any rhymes,
the sort of thing you might read
in the Telegraph or Time[crossed out] Guardian.
For, as proper poets know,
rhyme’s deleterious
and only gets in the way
when you’re trying to be serious[crossed out] profound.
It’s childish and cloying,
simplistic and singsong
to bat rhymes back and forth
like some dull game of ping pong[crossed out] table tennis.
To the literary critic
it will cause great affront,
which will make you resent them
and think them a snob.
This is also one of those poems
which looks like it might go on to say something insightful
about the human condition
but then just kind of ends.
