Hey Henry,

I was thinking the other way around. Like you could "hide" IP inside a fib.

Shall
I
compare
thee to a
summer's day? Thou art
more lovely and more temperate.

Etc.

I don't know exactly why you'd want to do it or what it'd mean. But if you were gonna (and you were going to avoid substitutions), you'd have a chance on 6 or 17-liner.

Response to Lo


Lo,
I
am here
to help you!
Remove shoes and socks;
start counting those little piggies,
and soon you will have enough digits to go around.

My Home Town, Vacaville


In
a
Town that
is named for
an animal that's
sole purpose is to live and feed
until it is big and fat enough to be consumed.

(after being slaughtered of course)


Also, interestingly enough, James Joyce is a direct descendant of Shakespeare
and great nephew to Mark Twain.

O,
go
and crow
that your beau
(and you loved him so!)
is nothing more than a low,
revolting, two-timing ass. That’s what you’ll do, I know.
But do you think the world will give a damn
....................................about your hackneyed tale of romantic woe?

The
rhyme
may be
botchy, yet
might Fibonacci
approve the sequential sestet?

Hep

Now
my

seems ridiculous.
Did it feel differently before?

Sorry to pop this back up, but thought folks might be interested in some fibs I published in Cortland Review. I know I benefitted from our experiments here--many thanks.

Ponzi Fib

Fib?
Well,
Ponzi
was a glib
teller of them. Hell,
he told ‘em and everybody
wanted dibs: doubled money, ninety days? Grab your bib,
get in, and hope there’s bigger fools behind - but summer, 1920, someone hollers,
and it collapses. Quatrains can’t contain a guy who drains some 40,000, of $15,555,000!

-- Frank
