This isn't really the type of poetry that NaPoWriMo is about, but it usually gets included in elementary school poetry lessons, so I thought I'd use it for some fun.
They're called Hink Pinks. You get a clue, and you have to come up with the two-word rhyming phrase that fits the clue. They're usually really groan-worthy, too.
What lawyers feel when they lose: brief grief
Hobbies at a convent: nun fun
A rodent's wife: mouse spouse
Yeesh, right? There are also two-syllable versions called Hinky Pinkies, and three-syllable versions called Hinkety Pinketies:
Fruit that needs to shave: hairy berry
Exhausted flower: lazy daisy
Riot among churchgoers: devotion commotion
Ape ships: gorilla flotilla
I told you they were awful. But they're fun!
