This one is pretty easy. Write a quatrain where each line begins with "That's the way"". All four lines should rhyme with each other. Then use the noun from the last line to start a new rhyme. Example:
That's the way the cookie crumbles
That's the way the old man mumbles
That's the way the baby stumbles
That's the way the bee bumbles
So the next rhyme would have to say something different about a bee in the first line.
That's the way the bee flies
That's the way the fly dies
That's the way the rope ties
That's the way the baby cries
That's the way the baby poops
That's the way the chicken coops
That's the way the hula hoops
That's the way the lawyer stoops
That's the way the lawyer cheats
That's the way the skirt pleats
That's the way the visitor greets
That's the way the sheep bleats
That's the way the sheep shears
That's the way the eye tears
That's the way the ear hears
That's the way the driver steers
that's the way the driver goes
that's the way just follows his nose
that's the wayI lie and doze
that's the way the weekend flows
That's the way the weekend went
That's the way the money's spent
That's the way the pipe's bent
That's the way the wall lent
That's the way the wall feels,
That's the way the wound heals,
That's the way the bell peals,
That's the way the nun kneels.
That's the way the nun habits,
That's the way the wolf eats rabbits,
That's the way we get dagnabbits,
That's the way with English Cabots.
That's the way the English preen,
That's the way the Germans clean,
That's the way the Ethiopians glean,
That's the way the Tongans queen.
That's the way with Tongan stamps,
That's the way the banana cramps,
That's the way the shade likes lamps,
That's the way guitars like amps.
That's the way guitars will whine
That's the way my friends drink wine
That's the way I broke my spine,
That's the way grapes grace the vine.
That's the way grape grows.
That's the way the wine flows.
That's the way the story grows.
That's the way the vomit throws!
That's the way the vomit splatters,
That's the way a budgie chatters,
That's the way a courtier flatters;
That's the way a warm heart matters.
That's the way the heart can beat,
That's the way a man loves meat,
That's the way you need your DEET,
That's the way mosquitos eat.
That's the way mosquitos love to bite;
That's the way a thief comes in the night;
That's the way potatoes die of blight;
That's the way an albatross takes flight.
that's the way an albatross soars
that's the way a lion roars
that's the way the rain pours
that's the way that love adores
That's the way that love can hurt,
That's the way with Ernie and Bert,
That's the way some folks are curt,
That's the way the comments blurt.
That's the way the comments come
That's the way the hummers hum
That's the way the drugs will numb
That's the way the mute is dumb
That's the way the mute can't speak
That's the way the sink gets leaks
That's the way men sneak a peek
That's the way the Welsh eat leeks
