ASSIGNMENT IN ABCB
In trepidation pain and angst
With three hitch-hikers on my back
All making progress difficult
And pushing writing off the track
With orders firmly in my mind
I pick up pen and go to work
I scribble letters on a page
Exactly like some office clerk.
I’ve monumental things to say
But they must only be in rhyme
That’s not my style....so i’ll just say
It will not happen at this time
So I will be the lesson dunce
Atop a stool in pointed cap
Because I couldn’t rhyme this once
And only turned in total crap
ljm
Each line is 8 pentameter beats with stress where it belongs. I got an "A" on it.
