Doggerel

Inspired by this snippet from Yeats' Adam's Curse

"A line will take us hours maybe;
Yet if it does not seem a moment’s thought,   
Our stitching and unstitching has been naught."

Proper rhythm and rhyme are the key
To a limerick facile and free 
But my muse is aloof
And the pudding of proof
Is this doggerel now that you ... have before you
