Amen to that.
Apart from the fact that there are poems describing and/or relating to facts (e. g. the poet being left or rejected by the addressee of the poem) I have read two (not antic but contemporary ; AFAIR from 1980ies) adjudications written in rhyming verses.
One of them was about a case where a payment reminder was ignored in the sense of not being percieved seriously as a writ, because - you might already guess - it was written in rhyming verses too.
