This is impressive, I must say
To run on and on and on that way
While staying true to subject started
Resisting bunnies as they parted
From the path on first we tred
Takes concentration and a level head
Though one thing more I must except
That rhyme and meter so adept
Is more the mark of minstrel or bard
Than man so macho with core so hard!
Granted man you well may be
But macho? Doubtful! you big Dandy!
