Rhymes On Rough-to-Rhyme Rhymes

     [Re Rachel Maddow]

Some horse revealin' raches...?
Some cow concealin' naches...?

‘arugula.’

     [Re Sancho and the Don]
I’m quizzin' Quixote,
“What rhymes, Don, with ‘purple’…?”
when suddenly, Sancho,
astride Dapple’s curple,
opines, “Ask him not.
His brain’s halt. He’ll just hirple.”
Adds Don: “Pace, Panza –

     [Re Robert Moog]
