Remember when Homer fought the giant spider?
Some people hate boxed text, and others find it useful (I met one of my players when they reached out to complain Wizardarium had no boxes). Others point out that many players zone out when they hear the boxed speech starting.
What if we could spice it up in a fun way that every likes? Rhyming room descriptions! I think they're neat.

I'm currently running the Dragon Magazine version of The Dancing Hut (Baba Yaga). What could I say about the first room?
----Tho it appears to an old woman's hovel be
It is filled with an air of mystery.
On the rude table flickering weakly
A lantern is set to help you see
The floor is of beaten earth
Ssix timber walls give small berth
In one corner of this small hexegon
be a basin under a table, no dinner, just the lamp, thereupon
A wood burning stove with chimney rising to the room's center
And a straw mattress with a worn quilt o'er 'er.
There is a door standing opposite... here and there a bit of brick-a-brack:
Pegs, shelves, boxes, combs, and sewing supplies... dare you enter, or go you back?
