Authors' Note: This verse is the lead-in to a collection of limerick-like verses that have an unusual rhyming scheme. Instead of the usual A1,A2,B1,B2,A3 pattern. these verses have lines ending in 'identity rhymes', as in the above verse: A1,A1,B1,B1,A1. Some critics would say that 'identity rhymes', e.g. perVERSEely / conVERSEly, are not rhymes at all. But when bunched up they have a definite musicality, and can be entertainingly sung at open-mike at a bar.
