Hate the Villanelle

 

Don’t hate the villain! Hate the villanelle

With these picky rules and odd jigsaw rhymes

Curses! These verses are my prison cell

 

At school I ran from the very first bell

The teacher's ruler, those maddening chimes

Don’t hate the villain! Hate the villanelle

 

Joking in class. Oh! The words I misspell

Mumbles and stammers but are those real crimes?

Curses! These verses are my prison cell

 

If someone could hear, for someone to tell

But friends have all fled to far away climes

Don’t hate the villain! Hate the villanelle

 

I solve this puzzle but tumble though hell

The words are fractions when I needed primes

Curses! These verses are my prison cell

 

My hands disappear as I wave farewell

This gentle quicksand turns into hard times

Don’t hate the villain! Hate the villanelle

Curses! These verses are my prison cell

DIAL-A-SONG DIRECT. A NEW SONG EVERY WEEK. 52 NEW RECORDINGS. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE DOWNLOADS

We have launched the Dial-A-Song Direct program a few weeks back. It will ultimately deliver 52 original recordings into your (or your friend’s) inbox every week for the whole year of 2015. When you subscribe ALL previous downloads will be available to you — so for $30 you can have a front row seat to this unlikely adventure in music. We are partnering with the good folks at Drip.fm to deliver all with download links. (We like to think Drip stands for "Dial-A-Song Recordings Is Perfect.") We have explored their service completely and can assure you it is highly reliable with a clean interface. This is the link: www.drip.fm/dial-a-song-direct

If you want to give a subscription to Dial-A-Song Direct just to put their email address in the form and fill out the rest yourself. They’ll get a song immediately, and an explanation of the service (but you’ll have to tell them it’s from you!).
