Realio trulio I managed to start some violets. Green-thumbed persons, should these be separated into different pots? Is it too late?

Roses are red
Violets are green and fuzzy
Rhymes are optional
And so is scansion

HAHAHA! A favorite limerick of mine:

There once was a girl from Japan
Whose limericks never would scan.
When she was asked why,
She'd say with a sigh,
"It's because I always try to fit as many syllables into the last line as I possibly can."

I love that one too :) (Also, "scansion is optional/ and so is rhyme" would have been better, I think)

How come? (I'm not seeing the subtlety.)

The word "rhyme" then comes just where the reader would expect an actual rhyme to be.

Oh excellent! I didn't think of this because I "knew" what was coming. :)
