Over on my sidebar there is a quote that inspired me today. Together with a prompt word SWITCH not to mention Mindlovemiserysmenagerie below.
“Right is right even if no one is doing it; wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it.”
Saint Augustine
First time for me with the explanation below through the inspiration of Mindlovemiserysmenagerie Poetry known as Vers Beacoup.
The Vers Beaucoup, a poem created by Curt Mongold, is French for “many rhymes.” Each stanza consists of four lines with a rhyming word scheme of:
a-a-a-
a-b-b-
b-c-c-
c-d-d
My creative verse below rhyming scheme as above with three stanza of three groups
If you get the ITCH to SWITCH, that’s RICH
Don’t DITCH! WOW, do it NOW by golly
Take that VOW! Plan AHEAD, use your HEAD
Before your DEAD! WRITE what’s RIGHT!
Don’t FRIGHT; we UNITE for the FIGHT
Be a KNIGHT! READ now let’s LEAD —
WEED out evil! Pull the PLUG rid that THUG
So very SMUG! GAIN hope to DRAIN!
This is nicely done. The rhymes don’t sound forced. I’m nervous to try this form because I probably can’t make all that rhyming sound natural!

Sometimes it’s a struggle, isn’t it? Especially the Paint Chips, but for some unknown reason, this one flowed for me.

Your poem and Augustine’s quote appropriately respond to our current politics!

Yes, that quote was quoted to me almost every day, my first year in high school by a devout nun.
