Thanks, Carl. That's very nice of you to say.

This next children's poem isn't a monorhyme, but I think it's in the spirit of this thread because it only uses two rhymes, and it uses each of them ten times. (This is also in my upcoming book).

IT'S ALL ME

I've sometimes been someone,
sometimes been no one,

the fast-as-they-come one,
the lazy and slow one,

sometimes the chum one,
sometimes the foe one,

the sit-and-be-mum one,
the stand-up-and-crow one,

the hopelessly dumb one,
the cool in-the-know one,

the moping and glum one,
the cheeks-all-aglow one,

the bang-on-a-drum one,
the volume-down-low one,

the merely humdrum one,
the big-fancy-show one,

the I've-no-green-thumb one,
the I-make-things-grow one,

the place-where-I'm-from one,
the place-where-I-go one.
