Jeff Kyser Poet Quatrain

Hat Trick

With far too much to do,
and having little time,
he tapped his hat with an ink pen,
and conjured up a rhyme.

He’d hoped it would be long;
alas, he came up short.
The rest hopped out and got away,
or so they did report.

A pencil would have been
much better for that verse,
for he could threaten to erase
if they tried to disperse.

A Short Measure: quatrains of 6x:6a:8x:6a, 6x:6b:8x:6b, etc.
