Splitting pentametres makes the tune roll.

Think about water and raising the waves.

Hey ho, let the words flow

No need to write like grammatical slaves.

No need for sailors, no need for salt

Hey ho, let the words flow

Scatter some verbs, let the syntax revolt

Mention some senses, avoid the trite phrase

Hey ho, let the words flow

Don’t rest on the rocks, that strand is a phase

Don’t forget metaphor, burnish the truth

Hey ho, let the words flow

Don’t use old words like begads and forsooth.

Hold onto the rhyme, don’t let the rope go.

Hey ho, let the words flow
