Five Thousand Soon Will Reach
This is the number I do want to reach;
Maybe soon Trump they will impeach;
Makes us nervous;
Never joined service;
Lesson to politicians we should teach.

Englyn. What is that anyway?
Englyn, a group of strict Welsh poetic metres. The most popular form is the englyn unodl union (“direct monorhyme englyn”), which
is a combination of a cywydd, a type of rhyming couplet, and another form and is written in an intricate pattern of alliteration and rhyme called cynghanedd. Wow!!!
Still over ten again.
Two Daughters Did Die
4975
Their two terrific daughters did die;
Both were sad and often would cry;
Death did part,
And broke heart;
Now are in heaven high in the sky.
