This is an old one, actually. Only one of a few without the rhyme scheme. The Dora one is much more recent, and you'll note the greater sopistication of rhyme than say, the Barney one. (But if you don't like Purple Reign, you probably won't like any of my others, so...)

I understand pimples to be lovelorn, mopey, angst ridden poems about relationships of youth. Right? This is more my own brand of twisted kiddie rhyme or nursery rhyme. While 90% of them have simple rhyme patterns, I'll try the advice of loosening up the pattern with a couple of new ones upcoming. If you read all my poems, you'd also see that converging storylines evolve, but I only post the ones that can stand alone here. Go read Equestrian Dreams if you want to see what happens when I strip out the rhymes and go free verse. Even with similar subject material, the effect is not the same.

There is incongruity between your comment and your vote. I prefer love or hate to indifference, but not sure which you're feeling.

Don, I didn't realize you are also SupremeDreamer. I am surprised you like the previous two, but not this one. However, the rhymes are more sophisticated in La Llamada del Cholo as it is probably ten years newer than this one.

So why is a villanelle or limerick any more worthwhile? (Or any less strict?) Who says I haven't written prose or free verse? This is obviously not for you and resorting to flames and snippy comments isn't necessary.

If I force some rhymes, it is for the comedic effect to mimic the sing-song cadence of a nursery rhyme. I experimented with this vein and a more free verse approach. It had a very different effect.

Aren't we all self-obsessed? Most writers are.

I agree "shit" seemed out of place, but still one of your best. (version 2.0)

THIS from the author of "Limp Cock"?

Thank you for the praise. One of my best, if you get the references. Also some of my best rhymes, forced or otherwise. (nods to Kaolin)

Aren't most rhymes forced, especially in "nursery rhymes"?
