The Challenge

[Aneurismath]

Since I am still banned for a few hours and I have recently watched Alice in Wonderland, let me take the lead, Ian (you made not a bad one for not being a poetry admirer), while I change the rules again
Let us honor our ancestors and let this become an alternating iambic tetrameters and trimeters challenge! Again, free topic; I'll start.


So peaceful at the beach

While I was strolling yesterday
I found myself in awe
for I had heard a wondrous say,
a chiefly rare "hello".
I wonder'd "where did that come from?",
I tried to 'lucidate
and then I came (I chanced) upon
a mostly newbie mate.
This man did utter stranger words
which were not widely 'mbraced,
but "hell", I thought, "if not on board,
where will this man find place?"
And there we were, becoming two
against the cruel yoke
of players not accustom'd to
b'ing banter'd nor provok'd.

And after that, my dearest friends,
I met another man
but I could not raise up my hand
for shortly 'fter I'm banned.
