Exercise in Song Futile

How could a human begin
To tell his fatigue in simple verse?
And how could that same fellow list the drinks he’s had
Or how they just made him worse?

O, how might it be said
That a life should not be led
In the vain pursuit of trying to ask
How he might get to his bed?

Exercise in Song Homeoptotes

Show me the way to go home
I'm tired and I'm wanting to go home
I had a drink (but not at home) an hour ago
And it certainly struck home!

This home truth may be shown
That, however far from home
I may be, you can home in on my tone
And show me home to my home.

Exercise in Song The rainbow

Those in a violet mood
Get tired, find their bed and indigo.
Their liking for strong drink will make them feel quite blue,
But if they turn green: oh, no!

Yellowing through the night
Orangements both rough and trite,
In the morning they'll turn red at the thought
(If they got back home all white.)

Exercise in Song Rhyming slang

Show me to my frog and toad:
I'm cream-crackered and I need a bo'!
I tumbled down the sink and now I'm daffy-ducked,
So I've got to scapa-flow.

I've been from near and far
To the Scrubs and Ringo Starr;
But you'll always hear me rabbiting on,
Like some daft Ravi Shankar.
