Rubáiyát

 

If I were to write a rubaiyat
what would be my first thought?
I’ve never heard of this form before,
certainly I was never taught.

I’d sit down right here,

tell myself no fear,
write to the form, then rearrange,
that’s right, now get it in gear!

Thinkin
Winkin
Blinkin
Start with the stinkin thinkin – disgrace,
that leads to the winkin, blinkin --base!
