Thread Name: Are rhymes necessary?
Subject: RE: Are rhymes necessary?
When our mob of morris sing "Martin Said" we do it as a sort of challenge in-the-round, when we all have to sing a verse, some (most on a good night) being made up on the spot. My favourite is:- I know the words to every song Fie, man, fie. I know the words to every song Who's a fool, now. I know the words to every song, but sometimes they come out incorrect. Thou hast well drunken, man. Who's a fool now.
That and dyslexic verses have always gone down well. (but they don't translate into Cajun French!)
