But rhubarb tart is, oh, so very nice.

A rhubarb what? A rhubarb tart!

A what-barb tart? A rhubarb tart!

I want another slice of rhubarb tart!

Eternal happiness is rhubarb tart.

A rhubarb what? A rhubarb tart!

A Jean-Paul who? A Jean-Paul Sartre!

A rhubarb tart has fascinated all the poets,

Especially the immortal bard.

'My kingdom for a slice of rhubarb tart!'

A rhubarb what? A rhubarb bard!

Immortal what? Immortal tart!

As rhymes go, that is really pretty bard!
