Rhymers curse

Beware the rhymers curse, it is said there’s nothings worseYou will never ever purge it from your systemEvery sentence every phrase, will, until the end of daysTurn into a rhyme, no matter how you twist ‘emBut, if you should be struck down, there should be no need to frownYou must savour every symptom of this blightIn your daily conversation show your joy and your elationWith the knowledge that your words are ever bright
