Now Wait Just A Minute

it says iambic, my old chum,
please don't succumb
to metering
that's teetering

to hear it, read it back aloud,
and please the crowd
with clever rhymes
that aren't crimes

hmm, I despair you're just not there,
but to be fair
a limerick
might do the trick

*********************************
it says iambic, my old chum
ta-Dum ta-Dum,
you hear the drum?
ugh, don't be dumb

to hear it, read it back aloud
your accents proud
and words endowed
you'll please the crowd

yes! that technique will do the trick
through thin and thick
you can't? Then stick
to limerick
