Replying to a comment on:

I don't rhyme enough, eh? (Ode) by Niphredil

Rhyming is not all-important. I know For some it's a challenge, a chance for a show, But let all beware of those who coerce Their disordered feelings to pre-ordered verse. I'm sure that a poem is oft viewed as neater When properly rhymed and according to meter If genius strikes you, by all means then rhyme; Less than that shall be denounced as a crime.

If I may make a suggestion: I don't usually have an 'angle' in mind whilst talking to you. If I ever do, I'm unable to stop myself from revealing it in a totally premature and obvious way. However, your worrying about what my angle is often makes you say ludicrous nonsensical things, which is why I usually make fun of you. You see?

If I may make another suggestion: The answer to this conversation should be "I prefer a man who I THINK is smarter than me." Your constant failure to distinguish between your ideas about something and the reality of it (similar or not) is another of the reasons why I make fun of you, and the one thing I'd like to teach you before I die. I consider myself an astonishingly smart person, but I almost never make that mistake.
