The nature of this verse as the second in a kind of four-verse verse-set is discussed in 234,8 . The kind of more or less ' contrived rhyme ' that it uses is discussed in 234,7 . Here's another verse that excellently supports the argument I make in 234,8 . Bekhud Mohani calls it 'lovable'; I'd call it coy and cutesy. If the 'natural poetry' supporters want to claim it, I'll gladly hand it over. graphics/sweetness.jpg
