There was a young vicar from Salisbury,
Whose manner was quite halisbury scalisbury.
He would walk around Hampshire,
Without any pampshire.
Till the Bishop insisted he walisbury.

Make sense to anyone?

Poetically it is called an identity. It works sometimes.

Cap. Birdseye was writing a rhyme
As a way just of passing the time.
He used the word 'Dogger'
And rhymed it with 'Dogger'
Which I feel is a poetic crime.


Impeach Captain Birdseye.
Rescind his poetic license!

CHEERS

for the ship he sailed was a dogger.

a dogger is a two masted dutch fishing vessel, apart from a fishing area, so its two different words, so its excusable to use it twice, it even has a third meaning , but thats secret.

Let's put "Ballydehob" in a line that scans as a limerick line:

A young sailor from Ballydehob

*

By chance I once actually wrote a song containing that name. It began: As I rode out from Ballydehob, I said, "For all that the grass is green, Being a psychic's a hell of a job -- You daren't say half of the things you've seen, And the rest is scarcely worth the bob That pays my fare to Skibbereen."
