I am a sucker for really clever, unexpected rhymes, and see the central disadvantage to being a prose writer is the inutility of rhymes in short stories (yeah, well, perspective is not mine; possibly it's actually something to do with taxes).
Anyway, here's a rhyme so clever I don't understand it--I think Wale has some sort of beef with DC. If you have the time, it plays a lot better in context--video is here. Otherwise,
District of Columbia
You Bernie Mac funny
We ain't scared of none of ya
You're smiling, aren't you? Even if you have no bloody clue what's going on. I think I'm starting to love rap.
La la la la la hey hey hey goodbye
