It's National Poetry Month! And according to the American Society of Poets, or ASP, you have to say at least one rhyme a day for the month of April. It's true. If you don't, they will send poet ninjas after you. And you can never see their rhymes coming.
You: "Oh, I didn't rhyme today. Eh...who's gonna notice."
Ninja: "You think we don't know? That you didn't show the flow? We move with nary a rustle. Except at the disco when we hustle."
You: "Oh no. I gotta think of something! The Poet Ninjas are coming!"
Ninja: "Our swords shimmer like the sun. With one swipe, you are done. Better think of something very fast. Or this next breath might be your last."
You: "Um! Uh! I met a monkey! He was funky!"
Ninja: "Cool. We'll take it. Good job. We out."
You: "Phew..."
Ninjas are cool. But rhyming ninjas are cooler. It's a historical fact. Look it up. There's, like, a whole section of it in McCullough's "The Taiheiki: A Chronicle of Medieval Japan."
Don't actually look it up, though.
I'm off to do a rhyme or two.
Enjoy Everything.
