This rhyming non-sense is surely above the English abilities of many of us foreigners. I had to read Larry's text five times (two times after you indicated that it indeed ought to rhyme - it finally worked when I read it aloud).
So, folks: if you want to be understood, please keep the obfuscation of the English language to a fairly low level.
