Now, I'm wondering about how you did it. I suppose if I go to my Penguin rhyming dictionary flick though it and find a word which has masses of rhymes and I spend hours trying to say something which makes at least some kind of sense....then I could produce a poem too (maybe but I doubt it)
Yes, you're right. I tried to write something that contained every
simple word that rhymed with "surreal". While kinda terrible in most
ways, my dog seems to like it. (The cats don't, but that's cats for
you.) I just went to my fav rhyme dictionary and copied its list.
(Which is, BTW, RhymeZone. It's not only a rhyming dictionary but
does fun full-text searches on anything by Shakespeare or Mother Goose
