: It really should rhyme.
: I understand that it isn't always this way, and that many of the greatest poets do not do this, but the poetry that I enjoy must rhyme. And this is the best because it rhymes the same word over and over, which takes talent. I don't really write poetry but the last one I wrote (i'd post it but it's at home) had about 15 lines all rhyming, with the same number of syllables in all the lines.
---I'm sure that took some time to create. I have to say that the rhyming has no effect on me. If the message is profound I like it no matter what the delivery is. In the Willy Wonka case, the rhyming is cool because it sounds like a kids poem almost but if you really pay attention they are really saying something.
