Yes, it's quite evident I am living with a pint sized human tape-recorder.
His memory is handy at times but then again, it does come back to bite me on the arse as well.
This is a modified Rondeau Redouble. It consists of six stanzas in iambic meter.
Each line of the first stanza becomes the last line of each consequent stanza.
There is one additional stanza plus a refrain at the end which is the first half of the first line.
Oh, my modification is the change to the last line in the second to last stanza.
Got all that? Phew! Hope so.
I ain't repeating it.
BTW the little darling photoshopped into a tape recorder DOES actually belong to me...
Thanks for reading...
