I did not know there were so many words in the English language that had no perfect rhyme. This was a particularly fun challenge attempting to fit in around 70 of them to this little story.
[WP] The police employ a Seer whose prophecies are in rhyming couplets. As a master criminal, you have to devise crimes that centre around things that do not rhyme. by ArcticTern4theWorse in WritingPrompts
They
sat around the table eating pizza. Angel the pedant, felt angry and
anxious but made the comment for the hundredth time that her bulbous
nose husband knew the secret of the seer’s foibles and could
discombobulate the dangerous powers of the justice system. By utilising a
pint of liquid nitrogen in the belly of an empty purple polka dot
penguin which he would place strategically in the shadow by the chimney
in the foyer of the Walrus hotel they would misdirect the iron eye of
the law. Wearing nothing but olive reptile prints while carrying a piece
of orange luggage containing a neutron engine and moving in a zigzag
line past the office of the concierge, he could bypass the sandwich bar
and create a monster explosion which would disguise him stealing the
silver and diamonds, and at the ninth hour hide them in the rhythm
section of this month’s orchestra. Angel sanctioned the plan after
considering the problem of her husband and his dodgy elbow perhaps
prematurely setting off the bulb that will sit inside the penguin. At
the twelfth hour the plan is to transfer the silver and diamond’s into
condoms in the vacuum in the laundry, while the string quartet plays a
fugue. Angel gulped an asprin with some citrus juice and nibbled some
chocolate to calm her nerves. She promised her husband he would be a
bachelor if this plan fell to chaos. He rolled some cannabis and sat
back to watch a SF film about wolf men and circus denizens of a distant
galaxy. Relax my almond eyed love, he said and puffed some smoke in her
direction, it is obvious we will succeed. As a couple we won’t let a
single rhyme mulct us of our treasure
