Problem
No time to send a card for a birthday or even a greeting or wish you were here? Here are some options:
Answers
You have choice of: foreign card (photographed and emailed),
1 Facebook greeting - with added emoji (miniature funny face symbol)
2 Send a picture of the recipient on previous birthday or you are them with the greeting
3 Write a rhyme. and send a picture for someone special if you have time
How To Improve A Rhyme
It's easy to improve a rhyme
All you need is a little time.
I just made that up. To find a thyme, pick a key word to end your opening and closing sentences.
From your own head, pick out some rhyming words, going though the alphabet.
You can do this with one word or two, eg
love: a/b above , d dove
love you
above you
Check rhyming dictionary and thesaurus for more.
Try changing rhyming couplets to alternating lines ie
instead of end rhymes aa bb
abab
Count syllables. The easiest is to make all lines end with the same number of syllables
eg 8 or 10.
Another popular scheme is second and alternating lines shorter eg 9797.
If your lines are different lengths, it is often easier to lengthen the shorter ones than to cut the longer ones.
