Stanzaic Patterns

A couplet is a stanza of two lines, usually, but not necessarily, with end-rhymes. Couplet is also used for a pair of rhyming lines:

Had we but world enough, and time,

This coyness, lady, were no crime.

~ Andrew Marvell

Your objective for this competition is to provide a couplet of your own making.

The force forbid that we waste time,
Unlike Senators squawking on Hosnian Prime.

For though it was 'ever we swore, I can not halt the divine.
