редкие рифмы (англ.)

[avva]

I have tried a hundred times, I guess,
To find a rhyme for month;
I have failed a hundred times, I know,
But succeeded the hundred and one-th.

А эту я помню из какого-то альманаха, который читал много лет назад:

To find a rhyme for 'silver',
or any 'rhymeless' rhyme,
Requires only will, ver-
bosity and time.

I gave my darling child a lemon,
That lately grew its fragrant stem on;
And next, to give her pleasure more range,
I offered her a juicy orange,
And nuts - she cracked them in the door-hinge.
