I often stick a paraphrased quote in the core.
They tell you not to in college courses.
Unlike T. S. Eliot and Marianne Moore,
I don’t ever feel compelled to quote my sources.
Don’t plagiarize, dear reader. Interlard.
Thus Richard Leppert from his book, The Sight of Sound:
“Not for nothing does the husband wear outdoors garb;
he’s not always going to be around.”
From here you can send the husband off with his hound.
What will transpire after several lines of verse?
The mutt will turn up at the local pound;
she lost the scent while watching the players rehearse
for a vernal painting to be hung on a string
(not “Spring 2000,” but “Everyman’s Spring”).
The husband hails the cur with a boot and a curse.
