That’s all that rhymes with oaches
Except for one - accroaches;
It’s a word
That’s seldom heard -
A bit like Nacogdoches.

In the town of Nacogdoches
The people eat live roaches.
They pop them in
And with a grin
They tell them “Buenas noches!”

PS: Nacogdoches is a bona fide Texan town pop 30,000 of whom not one has denied the cockroach rumour.

For rhymes that end in "oach"
A web site you should Not approach,
For more "oach" words to take from
Is "urbandictionary.com"
If your sensitivities you don't mind to encroach.

Orthogonally this one is approaching
Some extra-lexicular "O-Ching"
Words can be plasmic
And Ogden-Nash-azmic
Now let's get you out of your cloach-thing

[emm]

My cloche-thing?

One more since accroach didn't get one of its own ...

There once was a girl as bold as
Brass, who didn't get old, as
Accroaching tiger
Bit and pried her
Head off from her shoulders

PS: I know that ass is a better rhyme but it sounds a bit unrealistic

[Myth Jellies]

Sure, cloachthing--made from a nice machterial for dressin' up.

Hey, if it's ogdennashazmic, you'd have to expect something like that

There was a young man posed for Rodin
He had him take off all his clothin’
To conceptualise
The shape and the size
Of the marble that he was erodin’

Isn’t it just perfecht the way everything goes round.

Sat in a chair
Totally bare
David
Wavered
About exposing his derriere.

The identity of this rugby player, currently on tour in France, was revealed by the artist before the painting went on sale last week, in violation of their confidentiality agreement. Lucky for us though, ‘cos we never would have guessed.



An All Black who wished to be nameless
Said “Why do you say that I’m shameless?
There's plenty of you
Have seen my back view
In the shower after games, only frameless.”

I hope that wasn't too shocking. I hope that's not why you've all gone quiet
... I’ve had some more thoughts about nude models …

Danaïd



The girl who posed for this nude
Said “Rodin, they will think me too crude,
With my bare derrière
Exposé to the air,
Mon visage you had better exclude.”


Walking Man



This man was shy, even more so,
He said “Not my head, just my torso.”
But Rodin in a pique,
Applied the technique
To his arms and other bits also.

PS: Actually, Rodin did deliberately lop bits off - in his search for perfection in his sculptures he removed anything he thought was superfluous or too obvious … in case you were wondering …

Hope his perfection didn't extend to his models

I think that’s enough nudity for one week - less is more, as they say. And that applies to poetry as well.

Just one last one …

Rodin was an artiste en France
His sculptures were par excellence
If the marble was cold
Or the nude was too old,
He would happily do them en bronze.

PS: This one will rhyme better if said with a fake-French accent.

[MCC]

How about this last line.

Rodin was an artiste en France
His sculptures were par excellence
If the marble was cold
Or the nude was too old,
He sulked and did the Mexican hat dance.

Now that's an unusual juxtaposition! I hope you don’t mind me saying this, MCC - but your syllable scheme needs a little tweaking

Mk 3

Rodin was an artiste en France
His sculptures were par excellence
If the marble was cold
Or the nude was too old,
Il dirait ‘Je n’ai pas de chance!’

[MCC]

Thanks emm, I've edited it, but how I came to post that twaddle in the first place I don't know, it must have made sense in some universe.

Mk 4

Rodin was an artiste en France
His sculptures were par excellence
If the marble was cold
Or the nude was too old,
He still worked with ebullience.
