A bit of fun I hope?
Challenge - find a word that has no rhyme, then work it into a piece wherein it just about, or better, works!
I had fun with 'window' and 'orange' (see below) - why not have a go with other words?
Extra challenge - the first reviewer who spots the Dylan line gets a virtual pint of the amber nectar from yours truly . . . Brett?!
Yo! Ho!

Orange Window
Come away from my window
And try to find its rhyme
Then tuck into some good thin dough
Under a pizza laced with thyme.
Then take the humble orange, Mate,
Unique amongst our fruit –
Where did it originate?
The point is pretty moot!

| Isn't the Orange a word that never began with O in its home language - una naranja? (Spanish) Like Apron (naperon, from the French)? |

Like Sue's perceptiveness!
And I'll claim my pint by saying line 1 (It Ain't Me, Babe).
Good fun, though.

A worthy effort, perhaps not wonderful poetry but I think you succeeded in your chosen goal.
BTW- Mike says it's "It ain't me Babe" and I'd prefer a virtual G&T
cheers

Ha! I think I shall buy all you virtual guys a virtual pint . . .
For Telephony - an exquisite natural orange juice (with a sneaky vodka added)
For Brett - a pint of Glenn Fiddick (Sp?) with no ice.
For Jane - a bucket of G&T, looads of ice and a soft bed after . . .
Ho! Ho!
Loads o' jolliness!

The non-rhyming word is bachelor.
BachelorMan
By Josie
My father’s a bachelor man
But he’ll marry my mum if he can
The problem he has
He also loves jazz
And he lives far away in Japan.
I do it all the time. I move the word that cannot be rhymed to another position in the line. Another one?

Silver Threads
by Josie
Silver threads amongst the gold
Means that I am getting old.
But gold amongst the silver threads
Shows I must be nearly dead.
Another one? ha ha
Try purple

Ah, Josie! Where did your last post come from? You, I guess?

PORRIDGE notoriously doesn't have a rhyme.
and SAUSAGE may be similar.
Unless you know different... of course... |

| The trick is to know these words and move them to another part of the line. Well, it is obvious. John, I hope you are not completely choked as I am looking for a nursery rhyme variation tomorrow. That's my challenge to you. Now - Goosey goosey gander - - - - goodnight. |

Veronica - porridge rhymes with Norwich.
There was a shopkeeper from Norwich
Who ate only pork sausage and porridge.
When he couldn't get these
Nothing else would quite please
So he kept up his strength with his borage.
Quite awful!
What is borage? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borage It is good for you I believe.

For Josie . . .

Well I've got everyone else a drink to put them under the table . . .
For you . . .?
Something else, that I will hold precious and close in my heart until all the fuss of life has blown over . . .
