Monorhyme. Free Verse?

Monorhyme. Free Verse? It looks like freedom, but that's a ruse. We're free to use whatever rhyme we choose, But, just that one; before we've begun we abuse all those other nice rhymes we're required to lose. Okay, no use to keep on singing the blues, bawling like some broken-down, boozed up chanteuse, raging back stage, tearing her hair, and swilling Blue Goose. I'll put away the tissues, turn to other issues, and turn those rhymes                                                   loose. Then, let's talk men; how they ignore our views, seduce and woo any new floozy, and rendezvous, down too many brews, and return confused, too used to shmooze,                            kick off their shoes, and noisily snooze. Time now to say, "Adieu to you," and wait for reviews.

Writing Prompt Write a monorhyme and have fun :) A Monorhyme is a poem in which all the lines have the same end rhyme. Example #1: Late for Class I realized it was half past four When I, quite late, ran out the door. My history class I so abhor, But I missed two sessions the week before. I failed a test on ancient lore And forgot the date of the Second World War. (Man, my brain was really sore.) Up the marble stairs I tore, And slid across a just-mopped floor: I banged my knee and loudly swore, To wake -again- at half past four! These nightmares I can stand no more...
