shortage of rhymes

[sufi]

is it true that they are running low now?
we have exceeded the peak rhyme moment, and almost all the available couplets are exhausted, every possible combination used up by generations of poets bards rappers and lyricists
some still scrape a meagre bar or two from neologisms or loan words or resort to linguistic gimmickry, but that is slim pickings,
it's all over for English verse

Apparently English was always a very rhyme poor language

 

[sufi]

. . . the fact that [English] has shed most of the old grammatical forms which time has rendered useless and scarcely intelligible, has made English a model, pointing the way which must be followed in building the Interlanguage. . .

Let's start over using Esperanto.
