I'd just ask: is there a style that's the most fun for you?
I enjoy going along with the flow of the sentences, then using inflection rather than timing to mark the rhymes where I can. It feels like a dance!
But I know that's not everyone's cup of tea, and I also love getting to hear everyone's varying recitals, performances, interpretations and renditions.

“The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere” or Robert W. Service’s poetry. Or, well, Dr. Seuss.

I see it as a lack of culture on my part. I’d like to enjoy the other more, but I can’t seem to get any kind of handle on it.

Hi David,

Yours is fine but for a couple of minor edits:
1. In line 5 at 00:27 I'm hearing "the wind *broke*"
2. In line 8 at 00:36 I'm hearing "The dark *clouds* hung framed in with gloomy *cold*"

~~~~~
Bruce.
