Hey Leif, isn't verse supposed to rhyme?


"Round 'n 'round the mulberry chunk
the turner plied his chisel.
His iron caught a knot,
which hit him in the beezer!

Hey, I modeled it after "Pop Goes the Weasel"

"All around the mulberry bush
The monkey chased the weasel.
The monkey thought 'twas all in fun.
Pop! goes the weasel."

It has a very weak rhyme scheme (weasel/weasel -- come on!). I then made
an artistic judgment to simply skip the rhyming effort and try to
maintain the meter -- the flow, if you will -- by using "blank" verse
which I thought appropriate for a turning poem! *G*



Methinks you've been standing too close to the LDD vat for too long Leif.
I'm guessing, but it appears the fumes may have caused permanent
damage..............
