And A Partridge in a Pear Tree (or, One Very Silly Poem)

[muninnhuginn]

I'm onto a loser pastiching/parodying (more the former, I believe) Wendy Cope of all people.

Still, it could be the sum total...

Based on Wendy Cope's Triolet which begins "I used to think all poets were Byronic" and to which I'd put a link if I could find a legitimate one: the poet cares about copyright (link courtesy of Neil Gaiman's journal way back in April sometime).

I didn't manage to use every single digit in the piece either, which I'd sort of hoped to do.
