The Rhymies

The Rhymies

The Rhymies were three Anything Muppets with red shaggy hair who appeared in a couple of Sesame Street sketches of Season 11. Their name derives from the fact that they speak entirely in rhyme.

Their names were Larry (made from a Lavender Anything Muppet), Mary (made from a Green Anything Muppet), and Barry (made from a Fat Blue Anything Muppet).
