A Bear Comes to Tea.

If a bear comes to a tea party
he'll want to eat
extremely hearty.
He'll nosh on salmon,
shrimp and trout,
and will not leave
when you want him out.


     I'm still playing with the tea party.  When I first drafted this poem, I had, " trout, salmon and shrimp."  I just couldn't get a good rhyme for shrimp.  So I had to change the line and order for the fish.  I tried ending the line with "shrimp, too" so I could rhyme with "too." but that sent the poem into a dead end also.  Today, instead of writing a poem, can you read to find poem with an end rhyme that you think is elegant (clever)?  If you find one you especially like will you share it with me in the comments.please?
