LI – rhyming words, alliteration, simile

Let’s start with jelly.

It’s a wobbly word

that rhymes with belly

and smelly, of course,

and my old Aunt Nellie,

who’s also wobbly

and works in a deli

when she’s not at home

in front of the telly

being wobbly and eating jelly

and thinking of her brother Kelly,

who ran away with a girl named Shelly,

who worked - small world -

in the very same deli

as wobbly, telly-loving

old Aunt Nellie.

Rhymes run around

as light as a feather.

Think of a few
