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..............

Quite the opposite. You're going to have to work on your rhyme and metre.

I think you better show off some turnings quick before people remember
you as a poet. Trust me - you don't want to be remebered as a poet...

'Twould be better they remember your artistry in wood!
Le it remembered how you strived for good
How you never hewed the hallowed tree!
And you would not turn the fruitless mulberry
Unless it be for faith and rood
