Listen to poem:
Uninspired, 'tis a search for Shangri-La, It's much ado, I mean, don't you think so, All of this bruhaha, just fools would go, To this La La Land, --no 'tis other La. Well, if fools have time for frivolous things, Let it be theirs, not ours, a game of chance, --It does seem charming, a touch of romance, Oh no, a fool's errand, what of your bling's. --What say you, we both got money, let's go, 'Tis a slide of the hands, all done with mirrors, Pulled out of the hat, it's flawed with errors, Yet, you are my friend, answer, that you know. Let us hire some guide, and one from those schools, --From the universities, a teacher, I believe they are called professor, --err, --Now history, and dishwashing, two fools. 2019 September 22 howmanysyllables 16 lines x 10 syllables = a perfect 160 syllables
