Rhyming the last lines of each sentence
The last word of the first sentence will be Labeled A, the last word from the second sentence will be labeled B but it will not rhyme. However the last word from the third sentence will once again be labeled A because it rhymes with the first A, and same goes for B. But the third A and B will not rhyme with the first two and this will continue.
The rhyming copulate is the rhyming last 2 sentences and they end with C instead of A and B.
And there are 10 boxes, 5 feet, 2 Iam’s per box. 10 Iam’s per sentence
