I've noticed a few times, it seems to have fallen into the pattern of a limerick rather well. That's how I was thinking of it with my last post being the last line - works for me!

This rhyme is a hard one to follow
Though my ale is quite easy to swallow
So down with your ale
And up with your tail
And the next line will certainly follow.

So, to carry on:

And this is the next line right here (your line Layah)
