Dillip, which names are wonderful? When you say 'you both' deserve praise, you meant Belle and who else?

Aha! I see what you did here! In addition to having exactly seven syllables per line and fun rhymes, there are THREE other elements at play here that make this poem nothing short of genius! Should I tell the other readers what they are?

In the poet's notes I asked if anyone knows what this type of poem is called. I have since learned that it is called 'syllabic verse'.
