--- chocolate and purple and partners in rhyme --- 

Norm,

By the way, did you know there are no words

that rhyme with chocolate, purple and response?

Ensconce comes close to response,

but try to get those two into a poem. It's tough.

Hi, Lorraine !  now ya made me think about it  ...    

I'm told naught rhymes with chocolate   and purple is but worse.

But so inclined to talkalot    do thus aspire to verse.

And whilst our thoughts be ere upon   the ear's match to "response" ;

to find the word, good sound inferred,   as Cat 'pon lap ensconce.

Our nation's anthem, lofty prose   doth speak of mountains purple'd ;

their tops' thin air,  so crown-ed bare,   as if they had their fur pull'd.

'Tis true this creaky melody     may close as rusty door-hinge ;

though doubtably witty it is but a pity    I wasn't asked of orange. 

Glad ya asked !

Enjoy
