Thread Name: The Perfect Couplet
Subject: RE: The Perfect Couplet
Lorenz Hart was fond of couplets;

In a mountain greenery
Where God paints the scenery

Just two crazy people together

While you love your lover
Let blue skies be your coverlet

When it rains we'll laugh at the weather

And if you're good
I'll search for wood

So you can cook
While I stand looking

Beans could get no keener re-
Ception in a beanery

Bless our mountain greenery home

Simple cooking means
More than French cuisines

I've a banquet planned Which is sandWiches and beans

Coffee's just as grand
With a little sand

Eat and you'll grow fatter, boy
S'matter, boy?
Huh, huh, atta boy

In a mountain greenery
Where God paints the scenery

Just two crazy people together

How-how-how-how-how we love sequestering
Where no pests are pestering

No dear momma holds us in tether

Mosquitoes here
Won't bite you, dear

I'll let them sting
Me on the finger

Beans could get no keener re-
Ception in a beanery

Bless our mountain greenery
Far from life's machinery

Bless our mountain greenery home
