Lampshaded in a {{YouTube}} comment from this troper: -> '''The comment in question, kinda-sorta paraphrased:''' That was funny. You went from all dramatic and shit as Bit to completely OOC. -> Hey... "dramatic and -shit- as -Bit-"... that's kinda sublime! Now that's what I call {{Rhymes On A Dime}}! The comment was on a Mega Man X3 playthrough, which was the third and final part of a {{Mega Man X}} Trilogy playthrough.

My character in an online role playing game used to do this, occasionally breaking into full-on poetic composition. I still have some of his (longer) works, but as i'm italian, they're all in that language. I could get round to translating them, i suppose...
#108994
I've always loved Italian prose.

This troper's driving instructor was once an English teacher, and had developed quite a talent for rhyme. One of his favorite games (in driving class) was to string together lengthy, non-poetic rhyming chains about himself or his students; other times he'd just pop new rhymes off the top of his head.
#108996
Eyes on the road, or you might be dead!

This troper recalls a show where in one episode, a character was giving an interview to a man who was ''always'' rhyming. The interview lasts about two minutes before the interviewer got fed up and asked if the man wanted an orange.

Not actual rhyming, but this troper once briefly played a bard and LoveableRogue in a forum game of ''DungeonsAndDragons'' who spoke exclusively in elegiac meter, because he was cursed by a gypsy or something in his BackStory. Immense fun for this troper, but he had the party's elf's blade at his throat within a minute of meeting him. Naturally, he poetried his way out of it. His younger brother was a fighter, and as such elected to make liberal use of dactylic hexameter in introductions, diplomacy, and -- of course -- while telling the story of their heroic defense of the town earlier that day in the tavern.

While some consider rhymes a sin, I think this tale is MadeOfWin. To avail yourself of meter only makes it all the sweeter.

This troper's brother does this on occasion when he feels the need to drive his sister up the wall. What really drives her nuts is when the ''rest of the family'' gets into it with little trouble. All the rhyming and sentences make sense. '''''Make it stoooooop!!!!'''''
#109001
A family of poets is hard to top.
#109002
Yet even harder to stop.
#109003
A ReflexiveResponse for this troper.
#109004
Sounds like a talent that I would go fer.
#109005
I seem to be able to improvise rhyming lyrics better then some people I hear trying to improvise rhyming lyrics, but for some reason I seem to have trouble actually singing them.

My mother made up a limerick pretty much on the spot about a piece of roadkill we saw on the side of the road once. It was awesome!
#109007
Roadkill poems? That sounds awesome! Question is: was it a possum?
#109008
This Troper has a few friends who've begun to rhyme when they say their adjectives. For example, "Tough Buff", "Lame Tame", "Tite Bright".
#109009
This troper's friend lampshaded our Chemistry Teacher's use of this with the phrase "It's a crime to rhyme!", and of course I had to one-up him with "Hey, don'tt worry yourself, it ain't bad for your health!"
#109010
You're quite the rhymey little whelp.
#109011
This troper and her roommate invented the Waffle Song: basically, a verse is three or four lines of improvised rhyming iambic trimeter, followed by "mm-ch mm-ch mm-ch WAFFLES!" and jazz hands. The original verses may have actually been about waffles, but they're lost to the misty recesses of time now. (This troper grew up with her dad making up new words to songs, so she's pretty adept at it-- she once rhymed "awesome" with "clawsome" in one of her many improvised cat songs.)

This troper was proofreading a chapter of her Pokemon fan fic and came across this line: "The Charizard flew over his head, already one step ahead, and Pikachu retreated back to Red." Needless to say, it was edited.
#109013
You missed your chance! You could have tried to do the entire chapter in that style! It would've been hilarious.
#109014
I did this a lot as a kid. I still have a rhyme on a dime I made when I was ten. I thought it was funny then. For your enjoyment, a few lines I shall present:
#109015
I wish I had a remote control with buttons to push around Or a key and a spring that can be wound To make those around me appear and disappear When I say something that one but not another would want to hear
#109016
Two of my friends made up one on my facebook status, and it eventually evolved into dirty rhymes about eachother
#109017
This is one of this troper's entertaining skills, along with my terrible puns that can really kill. I do this all the time; it's something I can call mine. It's off the wall in no time at all - it's rhyming on a dime! ^_^
#109018
My brother and I do this sometimes, see who can come up with the best rhymes, and... oh, crap, now I'm doing it now!
#109019
Same troper. There was also a time where I said something that rhymed and then, without at all meaning to, said, "I'm a poet! Who knew it?... Oh, wait, that didn't rhyme; I guess I blew it." Cue everyone looking oddly at me and saying, "Um, but that DID rhyme..."
#109020
This whole page was super lame, and now I am ashamed.
#109021
I dunno, I'm having fun, and I cannot be the only one.
#109022
No more rhymes now, I mean it!
#109023
Due to my allergies, I cannot have a peanut.
#109024
They are very tasty, it's a shame that they make you pasty!
#109025
Well I hate them, they are nasty!
#109026
Just go ahead, to the link man, it's ok, just don't be hasty.
