The rhymes are whimsical and unashamed in being a little bit over the top (without being garish). I think it's a good bit of fun, and I learned something.(09-16-2023, 12:10 PM)Lizzie Wrote: Hi, Duke. Can I ask what meter were you going for here? It appears to be a little bit hodgepodge. But, I can help if I know what you're aiming for.You can and may. I was going for galumphing, rollicking, with a dash of larruping - fairly consistent within each stanza but varying as if a storyteller were changing stance, expression, or tone with each.
