A flexen haired goddess in jodhpurs and hemp..

She clung fast to the mizzenmast as the pederast made a pass

filthy habit

I know, I'm trying to quit.

And dammit, you can't play if you're not going to stay in meter!

Ahem:

I am a cavalier
With countenance severe
Limbs all astride my able steed

Clad in hauberk and chausses
Near the fields of Poitiers
I proudly hold the fleur-de-lis

"..i'll go to the first-aid tent and tell them to plug in ye olde stomache pumpe..."

Hint: Meloy loves words that fit into an anapestic meter, such as pantaloon, petticoat, ballyhoo, parallax, etc.

normally, i wouldn't be such a geek about this. but if we're trying to get our meloy on, i'd note that an anapest goes unstressed, unstressed, stressed. those words are all dactyls.
