My sister's boyfriend, the tattooed drummer,
taught me to swim that whole long summer.

The pool shut down, a broken pipe, a bummer,
so we sat in a kiddie pool all summer.

How to choose the rhyme

  • Say the line out loud before you choose: the rhyme has to land on the beat where the melody stresses it.
  • Rhymes of 2 syllables (plumber, drummer, and bummer) close a line hard; those of 3 syllables (midsummer) stretch it and soften it. Match them to what the line is saying.
  • If every perfect rhyme for “summer” sounds forced, move “summer” inside the line and end it on another word.
