Subject: [PATCH] I created differnet APR rountes for the poetry server in the
 view.py where the routes return random lines of poetry, lines lines and
 words, returns rhymes. I used differnt commands that were in the description
 of the assignmnet to help me develop the code along with references the rhyme
 view.py code. This helped me understand how web servers work.  Each route is
 a functions that receives a request and returns data in JSON.
