The Metropolitan Library System (www.mls.lib.ok.us) has a poetry book called "Once Upon a Rhyme."  It's a collection of 101 children's poems.  It was published in 1982 by Sara and Stephen Corrin.

Hope that helps!  It might be the totally wrong book, but it might be worth a shot.

Hi, everyone....

My daughter is in Competitive Acting, and for one of her pieces, she's  
wanting to perform a poem called The Rhyming King.  We've searched and  
searched and can't find it on the internet, nor can we remember who  
wrote it.  Her babysitter used to read it to her when she was quite  
young.

Anybody ever heard of it?
Anybody know who wrote it?
Anybody know how we can find out?

Here's a sample from the beginning of the poem:

Most stories start with Once Upon a Time
But this one starts differently
With Once Upon a Rhyme

Any help would be greatly appreciated--especially from you poet-types!

Thanks--

Jocelyn Pedersen
