Thanks Doug, Lawrence,
It *is* a mix, based on two exercises I set for students this week in a new
course. So, it is partly remnants of an abecedarian poem and partly a
remnant of writing a poem with words of only one syllable.
In one class I wrote along with them and played with/rewrote those drafts
today.
Interestingly, one class was troubled by single syllables and the other was
not so much, and one class made more, rather than less, 'sense' with the a-z
writing. All had fun (I think). The 'xerox zepp' line is the only
line/phrase of mine that remains intact from the first iteration.
