John, I'm thinking after all of using your "sapphically" instead of the original imperfect rhyme "dogmatically". Of course, it could be objected that sapphics aren't free verse, but I might get away with it. What do you think?
"Free verse", said the Poetess sapphically,
"Is the bees' knees", and smiled seraphically.
But it gets up my nose, for it’s really just prose
That’s been buggered about typographically.
Needless to say, this wipes out the entire trillion that you owed me.
(And yes, this is actually a limerick, but I had to combine 2 lines to stay within the overall 16-line limit.)
P.S. Ogden Nash? But he rhymes and (somewhat) scans all over the place!
