With Clerihews A-trailing!! |

Just a bit of fun insprired by the debate on metre!
Hope nobody feels offended!
The poor soul struggled down the ward,
With clerihews a-trailing,
The trochees were so painful,
And her anapaests were wailing.
She did a shaky tenka
But it caused an emendation
To her iambionic wit,
And shattered her foundations.
The moral of this story is, if you want to write rubbish, you can! But don't expect any praise for it!

We are all writing about writing at the moment. Speaking for myself, I am learning such a lot about poetry. |

Second cousins, once removed, I believe!
Veronica,
I doubt a chiropodist would touch them!
I agree about the anapaest sounding dubious. Where do these names come from? I too, am learning a lot about poetry, not that it's entirely obvious!!
Thank you both for taking the trouble to read this nonsense. |
