There is a happy chap called Pete
Whom Allie married, she’s so sweet –
She understands each quirk (and worse!)
In both his life and in his verse
She’ll say “Look, where this line enjambs
Has got cocked up with your iambs”.
He says to her “My darling sweet,
Concern you give my metric feet
Makes me wish them (how it rankles!)
Fair as those beneath your ankles”
But, oh, their love is so complete
It makes one think ‘that’s quite a feat’.
