		<description><![CDATA[ I found this poem which is a rhyme about rhymes.  Pretty clever.
RHYME OF OXFORD COCKNEY RHYMES 
Though Keats rhymed &#8220;ear&#8221; to &#8220;Cytherea,&#8221;
And Morris &#8220;dawn&#8221; to &#8220;morn,&#8221;
A worse example, it is clear,
By Oxford Dons is &#8220;shorn.&#8221;
G-y, of Magdalen, goes beyond
These puny Cockneys far,
And to &#8220;Magrath&#8221; rhymes&#8211;Muse despond! -
&#8220;Magrath&#8221; he rhymes to &#8220;star&#8221;!
Another poet, X. Y. Z.,

		<description><![CDATA[Growing up I read Shel Silverstein&#8217;s books.  I ran his poem, Where the Sidewalk Ends, through a Cockney Slang translator.  Obviously it&#8217;s not very accurate, but it&#8217;s good for a laugh.

And there da grass grows soft an&#8217; white,
