the rhyme and meter scheme to use.

Invitation was sent to one and all--
Who is it that’s saying who shan’t play ball?

Our world will not end from unpleasant rhymes,
but more so, it may through religious crimes.

I adore the rules and breaking them too,
this thread’s the place where we can come to screw

around, mid other poet minds, sublime.
Remember all, it’s to have a good time…

So tell us a story, forget yourselves,
leave your criticisms up on those shelves

--with all your quick-witted quotable digs.
Let us get back to our repartee jigs.
