Take any part of this out of context and present a clear nonreply. It’s the rhyme and the rhythm…
Here’s what I mean, see, if yo’ll be so kind.
A/
NEEDLE “ING” THREAD
Scouring for questions
That’re answer-able,
I found one that COULD be
—but, TO WHOM, I don’t know.
It seems to be PROUD – UN-acCOUNTable,
VERY arbiPETTY
and ill-literably BOLD.
(I was NOT descibing ME!
So, DON’T
even GOthere!)
Anyway,
HERE’s — th’given question

ASPA’s answer:

WAVyISH ACTION
EVERY NOW-AND-THEN,

Thank you for making it very clear that one of the main problems with ambiguity is that you can’t always tell what’s what. That’s why taking anything of the OP out of context is like, like, well, nevermind.
Oh, I don’t know, Iso (if I may call you Iso), if I were making a clear reply I’d say Aspa has a fair ear for rhythm and phrasing - but the quirky spelling, increasing vehemence (all those capitals) and other frippery doesn’t manage to cover up the fact that his or her actual answer to StoryTyler is pretty lame. But I’m not making a clear reply. I’m going for the nonreply instead.
I wish I had a manatee
To swim and splash and play with me.
I’d introduce him to my cat
Whom he’d wave his flipper at.
I’d feed him fish; perhaps I’d mull
Why he’s seacow and not seabull.
Not much to say or do wrong
Relaxing with a dugong.
We know it’s lame
and what it’s not.
It’s not poetry!
It’s petty—frippery frop!
It’s something to yap about
and make us talk.
Add it to the literature,
and see what we’ve got:
A heavier pile of FrIkiTahTure
that ain’t worth a jot.
