Thank you, Anni. Maybe I'm a masochist because I do like making things difficult for myself. I considered rhyming each line as well, but that was a bridge too far. Perhaps next time...
“Ouch” is not universal,
in places not even rehearsal -
I know for a fact
and state without tact,
in Afrikaans when pain makes ‘em shout,
the word “aynah” lets it all out,
and this has the same effect
whatever the word you select.
Line count: 8
