Rhyme Time

A poem in Monotetra form (described following the poem)

I strive to write a verse sublime.
I'll make it work. I'll spend the time
to make it worth the reader's dime.
It has to rhyme. It has to rhyme.

If I should fail, I'll try once more
to satisfy this mental chore.
I'll open my creative door.
I know the score. I know the score.

Each stanza must be mono-rhymed.
Each last line must be “double-timed.”
'Cause that's the way this form's defined,
how it's designed. How it's designed.
