Sidetracked Poem by Douglas Scotney
Sidetracked
Orgy rhymed with metallurgy
tempts to metallorgy;
gorge with scourge
to scorge.
Vice versa,
orgy could be urgy
and gorge gurge.
Same for bother and other
and both and moth,
and math and wrath.
Before you know it,
wrath is rhyming with both,
moth with math,
and psycho-path
is -poth and -poath.
