Assignment: write your "swan song." (Swan Song? Whaat? Explanation: The phrase "swan song" is a reference to an ancient belief that the Mute Swan (Cygnus olor) is completely mute during its lifetime until the moment just before it dies, when it sings one beautiful song.)
Here we are. My last song. I'm a creeper. And yes, I took the idea from the metric imitation poem I just posted and copied the rhythm of 2 separate jump roping ditties. If you can figure out which ones, then you're a wonder. Or just a girl who jump roped a lot as a child.
One for the Children
Beatrix Potter,
Strawberry wine,
Fourteen girls named Madeline.
Hair pulled up and tied in a bun
Tilt their heads and drink their rum.
Grimm, Grimm, patronym
Killing off all your ladies
Shove them in a burning oven
Have them bludgeoned in a dungeon
Chamomile tea.
Snow. Sleep. Red. Rabbit.
Snow. Sleep. Red.
