One kind of poem I’ve particularly enjoyed constructing is a sonnet made out of Rubaiyat-style quatrains, tied together by rhyming their third lines. In other words, you implement the rhyme scheme AABA CCBC DDBD EE in iambic pentameter. I thought about trying that here, but perhaps mercifully decided to keep it short and direct.

If watches were finny and scaly,
And were seen being hatched almost daily,
Would we bet any stake,
As he battled with Blake,
On the Christian apologist, Paley?
