Saw this poem by Catherine lim posted on Today.
Ladies, if in his love songs to you
He keeps referring to the moon
It's because it rhymes so readily
With the lover's croon or swoon.
And if he swears eternal love
Never from you will he part
It has less to do with loyalty
Than with the rhyme for "heart".
Suppose there's an awful break-up
And he pens an opposite song
Be thankful he has much less choice
For his sense of grievance and wrong.
Just how many words can he find
To rhyme with 'disgust' or 'odium'
With 'disillusionment' or 'betrayal'
With 'vengeance' or 'opprobrium'?
