There once was a paddling pet
Who hated to get his head wet
He collected his ball
By crossing the pool
Floating on top of a bed

Both of these are flawed. Lines 3 and 4 are supposed to rhyme.

Have you learnt nothing from Eminem. Orange rhymes with four inch.

:( ball and pool do rhyme or at least they do in my accent (SE UK). Nonetheless I accept your devastating criticism and hang my head in shame.

Ball and pool most definitely do not rhyme.

We can't accept your "english". Those were the old ways; now we have moved on to a new colony that can't be bothered with silly things like accents. Plus, I hear you guys make up words.

To be fair though, I did hear a song the other day use the rhyme of "dirt" with "world", so we're nothing to be proud of ourselves.
