You really got the pace right… and breaking it up in four lines really increased the pace.

You aced this … perfect form even better when read aloud .. in hopscotch.

This was great fun, Ron. Balderdash and poppycock. I loved it!

I can hear The Cat in the Hat as I read this. Then he does a soft shoe, then jumps up and clicks his heels. Delightful!

I enjoyed the steady stream of thoughts and the way you broke them up. The tetrameter was spot on! 🙂

I like the way you broke it down into short lines that tap out the metre like morse code and convey the wildness of those thoughts. Great rhyming too. These lines made me smile, mainly because of the word on its own – it’s one of my favourites:
‘Words are words,
balderdash,
say it loud,
say it fast.’

You got right into the metre here and had a little fun, Ron – I enjoyed this!
