I don't know who wrote this but I think it's a hoot "The Scansion of Verse"

There is a young man in Japan
whose poems just never will scan.
He sits up all night
but try as he might
He always ends up putting as many words into the last line as he possibly can.

reminds me of the extra

reminds me of the extra thought of what you should have said after the fact. Seems he doesn't want to mess with the rest of the poem so he crams the extras in on the caboose. Very funny actually. K. Mulroney
