The piskie did it!

\nThat dratted piskie always likes to play
\nHe’s trouble on his own and with his mates
\nI caught him in the act just yesterday
\nHe stole a bike and left it by the inn
\nBy all the sounds they got in dreadful states
\nI’d take him on but know I cannot win<\/p>\n
At least he keeps the Emmets far away
\nHe drank a flask of cider on his own
\nAnd sang just like the bloody donkeys bray
\nMy wife says piskies are a poor excuse
\nBut then you know she loves to have a moan
\nAnd telling tales to women is no use<\/p>\n
That dratted piskie always likes to play
\nAt least he keeps the Emmets far away<\/p>\n
Author notes
\nWith apologies to all Cornish readers I was asked to write a Cornish sonnet
\nwhich rhymes
\nAbacbc Dedfef AD where A and D are repeated lines
\nI made A and D rhyme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
