On a few occasions I’ve
tried this
Rhyme but 7, 6 or 5
syllables.
In this every line is 7.

It's hard to take care of nine,
Right at the poverty line
Baby needs a pair of shoes
Father needs a jug of booze
Junior needs some new school gear
Mommy wants a pack of beer
Jimmy wants sneakers and sweats
Mom and daddy cigarettes
The teenager wants new togs
Someone one else wants hot dogs
Paul wanting a basketball
Causes new family brawl
Words and dishes start to fly
Mommy has a new black eye
Oh my God when will this stop
One more visit from the cop
Dad can't take this anymore
Therefore he storms out the door
He is going for some crack
God knows when he's coming back
The mood there is always chill
Someone should have bought the pill
