So this conversation just happened:

I’m reading happily, S is surfing the inter-webs.

S: What’s a rhyming couplet?

Me: Two lines in a poem that rhyme. So instead of ABAB, it’s AA.

S: What?

Me: Hold on, lemme grab Shakespeare’s sonnets and I can show you. See how every other line rhymes with every other line, but at the end the last two lines rhyme with each other? That’s a rhyming couplet at the end.

S: So like, if I said, “I fart/ because I ate a Pop-Tart,” that’d be a rhyming couplet?

Me: No, I think the two lines have to have the same meter. So it’d have to be something more like, “my butt did fart/ from a Pop-Tart.”

S: Got it.

Me: Out of curiosity, what are you reading that made you ask?

S: I’m reading about this rapper Wiz Khalifa.

Me: Wait, there’s a rapper whose first name is Wiz? Oh my god. You mean that’s taken now? Because if I were a rapper that would totally be the best name for me. I mean, I have to pee all the time. Not just some of the time. All. Of. The. Time. From now on you should just call me Wiz-diddy. And people pay money to hear his music? I bet he doesn’t even sing the asparagus pee song. I’m not sure he’s earned the right to use the name Wiz. I need to write a rap about asparagus pee using, apparently, rhyming couplets.

S: <silence>

asparagus, asparagus pee, asparagus pee song

Did you know that when you eat asparagus that it makes your pee smell funny? If not, I feel truly sorry for you. Some people’s pee apparently isn’t affected by asparagus, and some people’s is but they can’t smell it. This makes me terribly, horribly, devastatingly sad. Like throw-myself-off-a-really-tall-giraffe’s-head sad. In my house, the rule is that, when you have asparagus pee, you must sing the Asparagus Pee song as loudly and badly as possible. Let me demonstrate:

In case you really don’t know about this phenomenon, here’s a video about it:

My only complaint is that the narrator suggests that one would ever not want asparagus pee. Are you kidding me?! What kind of crazy talk is that?
