A Weakness for Rhyme

Just when you thought it couldn’t get worse
fed ex comes along with a volume of verse.
It’s no surprise really, you ordered it twice 
Ignoring the first time Amazon's advice
To check your order before your funds you disburs’d

Hence the volume received the first time around
While probably a nice one with contents quite sound
Did not have the power the latest one had
To inspire these stanzas truly so bad
Alas, that rhyming urge you've once again found.

This new book has made you really quite weak, 
Because nowadays  you no longer speak
without thinking and taking far too much time 
to make  like Ogden Nash via some twisted  rhyme
