"Rhyming: From Jack and Jill to Ogden Nash, the power of words in perfect harmony. Step into nursery rhyme scenes or delve into epic tales like Von Eschenbach's Willehalm. Explore the rebellious spirit of 'America Forever' or witness the clash between The American Constitution Frigates and British Frigate. Yankee Doodle crossed the pond, bound to beat with litho artistry capturing the essence. Aesop's rhyming cobler brings wit and wisdom while a woman in a red bikini adds comic charm by the seaside. Santa visits under cover of night, inspiring notes and pen to create magic on paper. Jean de la Fontaine's fables remind us how rhymes can teach valuable lessons. And amidst it all, a man smoking a pipe finds solace in rhythmical verses that transcend time. "
