At once I leapt upon the poem
English only (to my sorrow)
For I know no word of Finnish
(Least no word that's fit for HN);
But the meter kept me nodding
Kept my head from being stable
As it cantered ever onwards
"It's the Song of Hiawatha!"
"Bastard nicked the walking rhythm
From Longfellow's long-ass poem!"
