Take it from John Masefield, Britain’* poet laureate, that rhymesters, instead of being long-haired, are “almost always bald.” “Poets whom you have met,” he said at the Canterbury Cathedral festival of music and drama, are almost always bald when they get to about 40. They go bald trying to find rhymes in this language, which has so few rhymes."
