In 1966, William Cole produced a small book entitled: "Uncoupled Couplets". The idea was to take a line from a poem by a famous poet and add a ridiculous or at least telling rhyming line. For example (From the book):
Oliver Goldsmith: "When lovely woman stoops to folly,"
..."I want to be around, by golly!"
Here are two of my own:
Robert Herrick: "When as in silks, My Julia goes,"
..."The outline of her girdle shows."
Lord Byron: "Did ye not hear it? No! 'Twas but the wind"
..."Escaping from my nether end."
This is fun; expect some more.
