Hip, hip, hooray, it is time for us to play,
We should go outside on this beautiful day,
Maybe chasey, hide-and-seek — what do you say?

[Author's note: The Stornello (plural: Stornelli) is a poem with 3-line stanzas. Each line has 11 syllables, and all three lines in the stanza rhyme(ish). The second line can be a *slant rhyme.
This form of lyric poetry is said to have originated in Tuscany, Italy, as improvised entertainment performed by singers in a tavern. One singer would improvise a Stornello, and the second person would respond with their own improvised Stornello.
I think of them as Haiku poems in steroids!]
Till next time,

"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."
