Don't blame Me
This is the unusual villanelle
unusual because got just two rhymes,
but hard enough to make us cuss like hell
Or seek some peace in a religious cell
those two rhymes just in, count em, nineteen lines,
this is, the unusual villanelle...
But here's the worst bit on which I've long dwelled
though I know it's no use for me to whine,
because they're hard they make me cuss like hell,
there's ten syllables per line! the death knell?
it's like rubbing a wound with salty brine,
this is the unusual villanelle!
These things were pastoral like rural dells
(they must a cussed a lot back in that time,)
cos they're still hard enough to cuss like hell.
Five tercets, one quatrain to finish well
Rhymed ABA. ABAA, last lines.
