Creative rhyming

more worrying was his intollerance to wheat

"if only I could find bread free from gluten"
 
"Til then I must be content with fat-free Fig Newtons"

He grasped his revolver and crept to the window.
 
Oh the humanity! Of senseless plight!

The downfall of man is ignoble at best
 
At last every man must pay his own dues.

So remember to give pause, and contemplate on
 
That no one remembers Simon Le Bon.

(Which sounds a bit like an ending to me. Am I correct? We'll just wait and see... :D)
 
Just then, a piano fell out of a tree,
With a walrus on top - now what could this mean?
 
John Lennon the peace chanter I'd surely seen

With an ugly old asian clinging to his side
 
Silly robot, what matters is inside

Just then the penguin on the TV exploded
 
"I'll have to clean that." the janitor noted

Flammable foul was the least of his worries
 
Being topless in a convertible with impending snow flurries

But now the sky began to crack
 
with clouds of crimson edged in black

down came the snow as up rose the storm
 
And with such winds of nearly human form

Intent on decimating all it met





(iambic, you might note, pentametres,
should anyone care to join in with me?)
 
But perhaps the End is not nigh yet

For winds of change are aloft




(Is that it? A 6-8 pattern?)
 
(No, friend Zoob, I do apologise,
My goal was something more like this in fives
The way one William Shakespeare wrote his stuff
Dee-dum dee-dum dee-dum; the rest is bluff :))

With luck and fortune, let the fall be soft

So all the world around it may not shake
 
But for all men to learn faith

And suspend their folly e're forward

e're?
