102,000 words and counting.

A couple of musical thoughts, sponsored by the Infinite Loop Playlist, to distract/entertain/madden you while my hair does its Doc Brown impression and I sweat and bitch and moan and grovel in the wordmines*:

1. The lyrics to "Come Together" fit into "Choctaw Bingo" without even a ripple.

2. For anybody who may be needing to explain enjambment to their students, "Jesus Etc." might be a good modern example to start with. Because the enjambment, it is everywhere.

*Yes, "16 Tons" is the truth about every writer with a contract.

That's because Chocktaw Bingo is written to the Come Together riff.

This mashup should definitely happen.

I think the best explanation of enjambment I ever got was in "The Miller's Tale":

But with his mouth he kiste hir naked ers

bad enough, but with enjambment?

But with his mouth he kiste hir naked ers
Ful savourly, er he were war of this.


eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew.
