If you open my post history you could find all my rhymes. I stopped when Tupka told me to work on my metre. I don't have time for that. -_-

As for the actual Demon in the comics, the original Jack Kirby verion spoke normally. Only the spell to unlock him was in rhyme.

Etrigan didn't appear much until Alan Grant introduced him into Swamp Thing. It was Grant that made him a Rhymer, a social rank in Hell. It's never clear whether he rhymes naturally because of the title or if he's just really good at free-styling. He remains a Rhymer all through the 90's, in the 00's a lazy writer must have decided to change his rank. So he returned to speaking normally. I don't think he shows up in the New 52.
