Thank you for commenting on my rhyme W*****K. a few days ago. You are right in saying that the rhythm goes a little astray at one point. This style of poetry(?) developed in my early days as a performance poet - working with John Cooper Clarke and others around Mancester in the late 1970s - and I learned that so long as the opening is tight to establish the rhythm in the audience's collective mind, they will forgive a little raggedness later so long as the joke is worth it.
I'm rather busy today but I will get back and read your work as soon as possible.
best
Ian
