    Do you say Quark rhymes with Dark or Quark rhymes with Fork?

                  Exactly! English has enough mad pronunciations without introducing more inconsistencies.

                      The fact that quark is an internal rhyme for Mark in the first line clearly indicates it also rhymes with Dark!

                                  Nope, but Mark and Quark are used as an internal rhyme so they sound the same*! * - apart from the initial M and QU, before you say it! ;P

                                        All I can say is I tried, hard. Trying it in English at the first go maybe wasn't the best idea after all.
