\\nRhyming is powerful. It can signal a form, or telegraph whimsy. It can be predictable, surprising, and sometimes both.
\\n
\\nIt may also be seen as childish.
\\n
\\nWhen, then, is it time to rhyme?
\\n
\\nWill rhyming "internally" fit?
\\nAs opposed to a line-ending bit.
\\nFor answers, just listen.
\\nBut rhymes will be missin\'
\\nEspecially where they\'d deliver a predictably naughty word at the end of, say, a limerick, because in this context, that would definitely be seen as childish.
