Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

When I write poetry,

It never rhymes.

I guess I think rhymes are important in folk songs although Woody Guthrie certainly wrote his share of non-rhyming verses. Lyrics that don't rhyme are often like melodies with no rhythm. The may have their place in new age or “art” music but I'll never know cause I don't listen to those.
