Hate the Villanelle |
| Don’t hate the villain! |
| Hate the villanelle |
| With these picky rules and odd jigsaw rhymes |
| Curses! |
| These verses are my prison cell |
| At school I ran from the very first bell |
| The teacher’s ruler, those maddening chimes |
| Don’t hate the villain! |
| Hate the villanelle! |
| Joking in class. |
| Oh! |
| The words I misspell |
| Mumbles and stammers but are those real crimes? |
| Curses! |
| These verses are my prison cell |
| If someone could hear, for someone to tell |
| But friends have all fled to far away climes |
| Don’t hate the villain! |
| Hate the villanelle |
| I solve this puzzle but tumble through hell |
| These words are fractions when I needed primes |
| Curses! |
| These verses are my prison cell |
| My hands disappear as I wave farewell |
| This gentle quicksand turns into hard times |
| Don’t hate the villain! |
| Hate the villanelle |
| Curses! |
| These verses are my prison cell |
