Using rhymezone.com

Christopher Robin had sneezles and weezles, 
they bundled him into his bed
They gave him what goes with a cold in the nose
and some more for a cold in the head

They wondered if sneezles would turn into measles, 
if measles would turn into mumps. 
They examined his chest for a rash and the rest
of his body for swellings and lumps."


So begins one of AA Milne's many wonderful poems based on the lives of Christopher Robin and his side-kick, Winnie the Pooh.

But what happened next?

TASK Write for 10 minutes, using www.rhymezone.com to find rhymes in the same structure as above – i.e., first and fourth line ends should rhyme, and there should also be an inter-rhyme on the third line as shown. 

The beauty of rhymezone.com is not just finding rhymes, but also the creative fun of finding words you never thought of and integrating these into your poem. Go play!
