How do you rhyme?

RHYMES

(nodding)

I don’t know, it’s a tough rhyming

So why are you reading?

OFCON

(suddenly)

Rhyms were being recited to them

by a woman, who had come to talk to them

I had told somebody to call me from there

A little later I was at the top of this tree

I was saying hello to them

I was telling them the good times we had here

We’re gonna have fun till sunset.

We’re gonna go and have a laugh
