2	William T. Naud liked that GameShow called ''Series/MatchGame'',\
3	So he decided to make something that was almost the same.\
4	Instead of matching words in statements this time,\
5	He gave the players {{poetry}} and made them rhyme the last line\
6	And hoping the three celebrities they chose would end the poem with the same word\
7	First to three points [[note]](two for each match by the player who made the pick, one for a match of the opponent's word)[[/note]] won a $250 award.\
8	But the best of three was the thing to catch,\
9	Since $5,000 could be won by the winner of the match,\
10	If they could make three rhymes the same\
11	With a chosen person of fame.

13	Unfortunately, this show's ratings ended up being dreck,\
14	So on the [[GrandFinale last show]] the panel [[TrashTheSet made the set such a wreck]]!\
15	But what would give away from this show so crude,\
16	Was the premiere of the ''Series/FamilyFeud''!

18	([[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant ''Definitely'' not to be confused with the]] ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'' [[Fanfic/RhymeAndReason fanfic of the same name]].)

20	!!This show provides examples of:
21	* TheAnnouncer: Johnny Jacobs.
22	* BonusRound: One more set of poetry, come up with three rhymes for the ending. Earn $1,000 for each match with a single celebrity, win $5,000 if all three were matched.
23	* DieHardOnAnX: It's essentially ''Match Game'' [--[[InSpace WITH POETRY!]]--] To be fair, ''Match'' sometimes did questions involving rhyming couplets.
24	* GameShowWinningsCap: Five wins.
25	* GrandFinale: ''Rhyme''[='s=] finale was rather unique as the panelists made it clear that the show was canned...by [[TrashTheSet destroying the set]] as the credits rolled.
26	* {{Pilot}}: The one that circulates has a clip at the beginning from either a run-through or previous pilot — the clip uses a different panel (Mitzi [=McCall=], Nipsey Russell, Jaye P. Morgan, Jack Cassidy, Adrienne Barbeau, and Charlie Brill), different contestants (wearing nametags), and score displays that lack their "1-2-WIN" markers.
27	* PrecisionFStrike: "When Nipsey tells a poem, it's usually a ZINGER..."
28	-->'''Jaye P. Morgan:''' We didn't give him a hand, but we gave him the finger.
29	* RecycledSoundtrack: The pilot's reveal cue for the rhyme is straight from ''Series/TheJokersWild'', among other things.
