Hi Licia! How are you doing? For one who has not read Burns, I must say you're his namesake. The more I read you, the more I'm convinced you're using a variation of the Burns stanza, coupled with that of the Limerick; or rather the "standard Habbie". Take, for instance, your pub-crawling song, especially your pirate speak counter-balanced with Burns's Scottish (insecure) dialect. Good for you! As I said somewhere else, your rhythms are specifically sprung on the iamb. EGW. Wignesan

Did you enter this tribute in my contest? I don't remember reading it. If I did not have it on the winners list I must have been temporarily out of my mind. It is a wonderful tribute beautifuly penned.

Excellent rhyming verse of an ode to this poet. I have never read (or heard of) him. Your poem tempts me to read his writing.. where could I find this?
