A song my guitarist wrote fits the kind of complex guitar melody exactly...so the rhyme structure for the verses was ABCCABBCA...turned out pretty sucky, we tried to emphasise the rhyme scheme too much, the drums had the same rhyme scheme in the beat (one beat for A, another slightly different for B..) and the bass was higher on B than A etc etc. Good idea in theory, turned out bad for us

abab or aabb is the most common in my opinion and is very simple but the one I think sounds really good if done right and isn't forced is
ababccdd
start out slow and melodic then speed up the end of the verse with some energy really good for rock songs especially when jumping into the chorus, bridge, or solo

My favourite is AABCCB
The first B line provides a hint of what's to come, thereby increasing tension...works especially well is your second B is finalising/surprising. This works well in slow meloncholy songs
