Preposterous Rhinoceros by James Aitchison

1 Comment

You know the word

preposterous

rhymes with

rhinoceros?

Now stress the

second syllable

and dial it up

a decibel:

prePOSterous

rhiNOCeros

Say it louder, 

say it clear,

so the whole wide world

can hear:

prePOSterous

rhiNOCeros!

Thanks for joining in 

our game;

your ears will never be 

the same.

Rhyming Rhino by Graham Seal

They say my words are quite absurd,
my poems most preposterous,
my rhymes are poor, my rhythms wild,
my metre’s all quite monstrous.

But I don’t care what they say,
one day I will be prosperous,
because I am the world’s only
poetic rhinoceros.
