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...
It’s McDonald’s Day, to celebrate Ray,
like crocodile but spelt with a K,
and who better to sing his song
than Knopfler - he won’t get it wrong.
Only he could write about this,
with his gold-tongued guitar he’s made Ray his,
and so I stand aside for once,
when he gets busy I’m just the dunce.
Line count: 8
Rhymed aabb
For Express It In Eight, 04.15.23
Prompt: McDonald’s Day.
Note: The poem can be sung to the same tune as Knopfler’s song which may account for its apparently strange meter.
