How Is That?

A rondeau redoublé consists of six quatrains using two rhymes. The first quatrain consists of four refrain lines that are used, in sequence, as the last lines of the next four quatrains, and a phrase from the first refrain is repeated as a tail at the end of the final stanza. See Dorothy Parker’s “Rondeau Redoublé (and Scarcely Worth the Trouble at That). — Source Poetry Foundation

"You're like broken furniture!" How is that?

Your chest fell into your drawers, that's how.

The person who said this is such a brat!

Heard it from the chiropractor, just now.

We have to get used to taking a bow.

Hard to do isn't it, just act like a cat!

Independent critters, but not a sow!

"You're like broken furniture" How is that?

"Do you know what CRS is?" Now what?

That you can't remember shit, anyhow.

I remember when you sat on my hat.

Your chest fell into your drawers, that's how.

~

Do you remember talking to that cow?

It is my leg, due to where we all sat

And my chest did not fall, how dare he. Wow!

The person who said this is such a brat!

From how he talks, he just may be a rat!

Maybe we can get him to eat some chow.

Or else we could put him in with the bat!

Heard it from the chiropractor, just now.

I just don't believe we can just allow

these comments to go on without a chat!

I thought, how about a break? Couldn't thou?

If we have the chat it will happen stat!

Maybe you're like broken furniture?

P.S. Another vocal member suggested I try a rondeau redouble. I don't know if I got it but it was worth a try. My chiropractor is a nut and I had that visit today and he is always good for a quick story or joke! Dr. Steven Fideldy. I walked in limping and walked out without my walking stick!
