What is a couplet?

Pretty sure it's Juliet's last name in Romeo and Juliet.

No, that's Capulet.

I think a couplet is something nice you say about another person.

No, that's a compliment.

You're thinking of soft fabric you put down over hard flooring. 🤣

Ah yes, a rug

It really ties the room together.

No that's a carpet. You're thinking of a griddle bread that's commonly served with tea in the UK.

No, that's a crumpet. You're thinking of enumerating things

Which reminds me, how is your mother doing lately?

Two lines that rhyme

Damn you is fine

Will you be mine

Or as DMX said

I know how to get down, know how to bite

Bark very little, but I know how to fight
