Verse and worse

``Whatever,'' mused the oracle, ``would rhyme with `tumbler'?''
``I know,'' said his pupil, ``why don't you try `bumbler'?''
And so on they did joust, with such mental alacrity
That they tied in a contest, for Rhyme King Of The Ditty

  2. The clock thought now what rhymes with time,
    At the top of the hour it began to chime,
    Time was pondering what rhymes with clock,
    As seconds went by tick tock tick tock.

  3. They spoke in rhyme for the rest of their lives
    Much to the annoyance of their loving wives
    But they forgot and spoke to all in verse
    And found it hard to throw in reverse
    And speak in normal words and prose
    As thoughts and conversation arose.
