Restricting Rhymes

People don't rhyme
They don't have the time
Plus, it's treated like a crime.

Unless you are Seuss
Or the son of King Zeus,
Rhymes will not win you a cruise.

"That was tit-for-tat,
The 9/11 attack"
Now, what's your take about that?

So rhymes spoil the mood.
And ignore it we should.
We must go back to our book.

The say: mix serious with fun
(Work while you dance).
Clearly, that cannot be done.

For we learnt not the skill
And knew not the "feel".
Yet, in life, we always kill.

For rhymes were never taught,
It would all have gone to naught.
Now, who would have thought

To go against this?

They who are his
Who was but never is,
And who lived in relative bliss.

It refers to the past,
Where people used to ask:
How else can we do this task?

They believed in themselves,
Not like ourselves --
For small injuries needing salves.

So much meaning
Gone into hiding
Because they started rhyming.

Thus, we underestimate rhymes.
Making everything mime.
Just stick with sucking on limes.
