I Hate To Rhyme, I Hate It So

I hate to rhyme, I hate it so
With fractured thoughts and words that flow
A trick to making something crappy
Sound ever so smooth and sappy
With the frill that rhyming bestows

It does seem kind of silly though
To skew my words to make them flow
Just to make my thoughts sound classy
I hate to rhyme, I hate it so

A gem of a line cannot grow
When compromised to rhyme, and so
I will not make a line sound tacky
Just to have a poem that's catchy
There is indeed one thing I know
I hate to rhyme, I hate it so
