merely
proving
once
again
that
the
english
language
is
'nucking
futs'...
after checking out wikipedia - that has got to be the stupidest thing I've read about the structure and use of the english language in a LONG time.
I reckon some guy doing a Literature ph.d (with a major in crappy poety of course) needed something to justify his doctoral existence and just made the whole damm thing up over a coupla beers down the pub.
I'm not a fan of poetry in any form...whether it has 2 feet, 5 feet or 5280 feet, at which point it becomes an Iambic Mile I guess. Then if you had 3 of them it could be an iambic league, which might be an extraordinary thing to some gentlemen. I suppose if it had 66 feet it would be an iambic chain, which we could then use to wrap said crappy poetry up nice and tightly and drop it into a deep part of the ocean to where it belongs...and if it had 0.6666 feet then it could be an iambic cubit and you'd only have to write poetry about boats using one word 300 times (ark...) and then all the animals could pair up and read it to each other...
ok I'll stop now. I colour stuff...
