Poets.
*
Could poets communicate in rhyme?
Probably, but not all the time.
It’s not as easy as you might think;
Could quickly drive a poet to drink.
.
To talk naturally in rhyming speech,
Is a target some cannot reach.
But it would be better all round,
If we paused before uttering a sound.
.
Speeches would take longer…
(Politicians wouldn’t mind)
It would slow down the hotheads
And be good for all mankind.
.
So let’s invent this new language
As soon as we can manage
Let’s spread it across all lands
For the benefit of man.
.
Will poets ever communicate in rhyme?
Maybe…. If given plenty of time!
