Not sure I like the ABBB rhyme scheme here

[-] ohwhatfollyisman@lemmy.world 21 points 6 days ago

sigh. okay. here you go.

roses are red, work makes you scream. my dreams are now dead and i only haz meme.

[-] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 8 points 6 days ago

This is acceptable

Aesthetically, I don't like ABBB for "Roses are red...". ABCB is fine, ABBB feels too forceful. And the plurals just turn it into half rhymes anyway. How about :

Roses are red

I used to have dreams

Work is a drag

But I guess I have memes

now it's just missing an ACAB rhyme scheme

Roses are red

Violets are blue

I've given up

How about you?

I thought our work song was:

🎶"I owe, I owe, It's off to work I go!"🎶

Boss makes a dollar,

I make a dime.

That's why I doo-doo

on company time.

https://www.musixmatch.com/lyrics/Fercris-Hart-1/Boss-Made-a-Dollar-I-Made-a-Dime

Boss made a dollar, I made a dime

That was a rhyme from a simpler time

Now boss makes a thousand and gives me a cent

When I′m an employee who can't pay my rent

When the boss makes a million and us workers make jack

That′s when I protest and take my life back

Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime

That's why I shit on company time

Boss makes a billion, my prospects are grim

Next company party, I'm gonna eat him

When the boss makes a million and us workers make jack

That′s when we riot and take our lives back

We make a penny, the boss makes fifteen

Guess who′s in line for the guillotine

Boss made a dollar, we made a dime

Til' we went to his mansion and burned him alive

Don't let your dreams just be memes!

This made me sad

Roses are red

Democracy is a lie

Fascism is Liberalism, but when white people die

I owe...

I owe...

It's off to work I go...

I gotta get paid,

If I wanna get laid...

I owe,

Oh, how much I owe!

[-] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 8 points 6 days ago

I get that paid and laid rhyme, but it's sort of a stretch to connect getting laid to getting paid.

I mean there are plenty of unemployed and unemployable people getting action. maybe like

Burn the midnight oil

So I don't eat soil

[-] jqubed@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

I’ve previously heard:

I owe, I owe, it’s off to jail I go
Don’t ever mess with the IRS
I owe! I owe, I owe, I owe!

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

I need a salary,

Cause I need those calories?

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I need payment

cause money's spent?

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I'm fulla woe,

And I need some dough?
