It's there, no matter how much you wish and pretend otherwise.

Great. Cheers.

I'd rather be subjected to Chinese opera....or cats fighting.

This was a post for a friend (now absent) on RF.
Near rhymes worked best for me in this one.

There once was a fellow, Titanic.
His underwear smelled most Satanic.
He gave the excuse
for odor profuse...
"At least it's completely organic!"

huh... too bad. I dont think he sings like Pavarotti
but there is enuf in the lyrics for some to think he
earned a Nobel.

There are different styles of Chinese opera, each
worse than any other.

My greatest poem, I had in my head when
I woke up one morning.

"There's never a ship that couldn't be sunk
Nor never a thought that couldn't be thunk."

I eschew false rhymes.

Not all Nobel Prizes are earned.
Some are given just for showing up,
eg, Obama's Peace Prize.

Here is one where anything other than a false rhyme would fail utterly.
If you know Mr McGonagall's work, you'll know why.
(He's widely recognized as the worst poet to have ever lived.
When he performed, vendors sold fruit of throwing kwality.)

I'll read you some poetry that's both pompous & abominable,
which will cause you much pain, both aesthetic & abdominal,
with meter inconsistent
& rhymes barely approximate
in tribute to a poet born in Dundee Scotland in 1825 or 1830 named William Topaz McGonagall.

Now you are talking like a creationist.

Well, we do both often invoke Jesus & God.
Although I sprinkle more profanity in my screeds.

I do know a little aikido.
It's more useful in RF than IRL.

My favorite creationist tune....

This one's for you:

Imagine there's no bread
It's easy if you try
No tacos or hot sauce,
Nothing cold or fried,
Imagine all the people living in the gulags

Imagine there's no money
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to eat or drink
And no bacon too

That’s great.

Can you name the so-called "Jihadist" and which verse and chapter did he quote? With some kind of direct evidence please.

For example Osama Bin Laden writes, “Banks dealing in usury are competing for lands, with the two Holiest places; and declaring war against Allah by disobeying His orders: (But Allah permitted trade and forbade usury) [Al Baqarah: 275]. Be careful of your duty to Allah and relinquish what remains from usury. Almighty Allah said: (O ye who believe! Fear Allah, and give up what remains of your demand for usury, if ye are indeed believers. If ye do it not, take notice of war from Allah and His Messenger: But if you turn back, ye shall have your capital sums; deal not unjustly, and ye shall not be dealt with unjustly)[Al Baqarah 278- 279].”1

I appreciate the answer since you understood the question.
