Oh the Cleverness of Me.
Thank you Wikidary for giving me a good laugh while learning about poetry.
You can sing part of Dr. Seuss' "If I ran the circus" to the tune of Leonard Cohen's "Famous Blue Raincoat" because they are both written in amphibrachs. (a metrical foot used in Limericks. It consists of a long syllable between two short syllables - like "Amanda")
All ready | to put up | the tents for | my circus.
I think I | will call it | the Circus | McGurkus.
And NOW comes | an act of | Enormous | Enormance!
No former | performer's | performed this | performance!"
If I was a musician I would do a cover of "Famous..." so that I could throw in this extra verse and sing it all mopey like Cohen.
Bwahahahaha!!
