A first attempt at rising to the challenge
Chris set us at the September Zoom
Respecting an accursed acrostic sonnet –
Our choice of text, the elephant in the room.
Shakespeare adored them, wrote an awful lot
Too many for me to read, God wot.
It has to go dee dum dee dum dee dum
Cos that’s how iambs go and come.
Science and art must go hand in hand
Or the result will be a sow’s purse,
No silk ear could be worse.
Newton, or was it Milton, also wrote
Numerous lines in that repeating metre
Never once tripping over his five feet
Except that he kept on and on and on it
Till Paradise was regained, in blankest verse.
