Hi 'My Name is Alan

Hi, my name is Alan,

Hi My name is karen

Hi, My name is assonance

Don't ask me why?

Sometimes it is condensed to

'ASS'

You know in that unfamiliar interlude

Between just 'in passing ' and being 'rude'

So how do I know Karen and Alan?

Though they don't know each other!

[neither friend or lover]

It is in the half ryhme of the vowel]

Alan is a plumber

Karen keeps fowls

On her farm

Alan knows how to charm

'A snake out of a U bend'

But without his rubber gloves

And cistern

He's lost for words

Karen is GERMAN

She is no good at love

Her husband klaus

Was chased out of the house

Later she ran him over

With her four wheel 'military' land rover

He now he lives quietly in Dover

With on leg permanently in plaster

They knew it would not be 'happy ever after

karen eats sauerkraut and lives with a

gerbil called 'rose'

Alan has bad manners and picks his nose

At a lonely heart meeting neither would show

And though they are destined to never meet

Assonance brings them together

Makes them complete

love Ass son ance
