I mean these words dont exactly rhyme, but I think they sound good. Example:
And he tells me of his weird aliens, his life story, and his rhymes,
And I’m afraid, more then him, that this stuff no one will buy

No!
If you were to read some poetry, you will see that there are different ways in which to write and read poetry.
There are many beautiful pieces written, that within them is no rhythm.
Peace,

Poetry is a very free form of writing. It does not, by any means, have to rhyme. You can break almost every grammer rule in the book, and that's why I prefer it.
I think that's an... interesting part of a poem. I don't really see where it rhymes... but it does have rythem! Thats always good.

Rhyme is just one of many tools that poets can use to infuse their language with extra power. The language of poetry has to be "heightened" or energized in some way, but rhyme is not a requirement.
What you have in your couplet is known as "slant rhyme" or "near rhyme" or "off rhyme." That is, "rhymes" and "buy" don't rhyme perfectly (as "rhymes" rhymes with "chimes" and "buy" with "high"), but they do have that long "I" sound in common.

No. There is a style of poetry called "free verse," in which there is no formal pattern of rhyme or meter. Many poets also write in blank verse, which is unrhymed iambic pentameter.

I'm only GOOD, not GOD, but have a couple of suggestions.
First of all the direct answer is NO!
Second,,, in a FLOW, I might modify the piece this way.
No need to BEGIN it with "AND" unless it happens to be a SNIPPET from surrounding lyrics.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He tells me of some Aliens
his life stories and he "Rhymes"
But I'm afraid from his "padded cell" (metaphor)
this is "Stuff", no one will "buy"
My Two cents worth, keep the change.

Could even be about Grampa???

if rhyme sounds forced, it's crap. poetry should sound natural, with a rythem related to human speech.

no...they don't "have to rhyme"...
...sometimes, it just sounds better, or it can be how the poet thought of it in the first place...
...either way, those lines are good together, in my opinion
