Thinking of Rogers' rhymes, I remember the first time I heard Macdonnell On the Heights, and specifically the line, "You brought the field all standing with your courage and your luck." I sucked in my breath and held it quivvering in anticipation at what a songwriter would do to complete the couplet - who has the nerve to end a first line with "luck"????? He had me going for a few seconds...
