Thread Name: worst rhyme ever
Subject: RE: worst rhyme ever
From "The State of Illinois"
(or as it appears in Sandburg's "American SOngbag," El-a-noy)

Away up in the northward,
Right on the border line,
A great commercial city,
Chicago, you will find.
Her men are all like Abelard,
Her women like Heloise;
All honest, virtuous people,
For they live in Illinois.
