(sorry to cut your song!)
That's OK, the only people who could possibly appreciate my song are me. It
has its own unique sprung rhythm a la a demential Hopkins and the last line
follows my patented technique that I call "break off", wherein another
concluding line is called for by all the known forces of poetry and
song-writing, a prosodic call that I purposefully turn my back on and thus
call attention to the line itself. Though highly criticized as simply bad
writing, this technique has won me accolades among many inebriates.
