What Rhymes With Anniversary?

Poetry begets…

When I heard you say, “What
rhymes with anniversary”
it made me want to shout, “No, it does not.
It rhymes with butt,
as well as with nut, rut and mutt.”

It also rhymes with putt,
but not with put, which rhymes with foot
and soot, though not quite suit
which rhymes with boot,
which is quite the hoot.

There’s no crime in rhymin’
even when it’s inane
so long as it’s playful,
(I’m getting your game)
and not too lame.

Now returning to what,
I feel it in my gut
to mention that it pairs well
with smut, and slut —
unpleasantries I’d personally
prefer to cut.

I think I’m done. I gotta run.
But thanks for triggering all this fun.
