I Love To Rhyme 1937 'The Goldwyn Follies'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 11 Feb 2005

There are men, who,
in their leisure,
love to fish for salmon;
there are others who get pleasure
when they play backgammon.
General Grant loved to smoke;
Mark Twain loved to joke,
Radio comics love to pun,
but the thing I do
is much more fun.

I love to rhyme,
Mountaineers love to climb,
Criminals love to crime,
but I love to rhyme.
I love to say
Gay, day, may, hey, hey!
Chuckle, knuckle,
nickel, fickle, pickle!
I love to rhyme!
Variety, society, propriety,
there's no stopping when you've begun;
Capacity, veracity, audacity,
did you ever know such fun?
I love to rhyme,
and wouldn't it be sublime
if one day it could be
that you rhyme with me?
