dispose of me in meter... disperse me into rhyme
convert me into meter, sir,
dispose of me in rhyme -
pray enjamb me in a corner
where i must bide your time.
with assonance i'll not demur,
in iambs i shall dwell,
embrace alliteration's lure -
i'm sure it suits me well;
each topsy-turvy metaphor
and simile obscene -
i will not ponder what they're for
or ask you what you mean.
for meaning's mark you may forswear
though i should keep your time:
dispose of me in meter, sir,
disperse me into rhyme.
