He was meter man
And she was meter maid.
She could write meter like nobody can
Sweeter than orange marmalade.
He was a rhymster
A nickle and dimester
A duck in a penny arcade.
He was a meter man...don't you know
And she was a meter maid.

She was a meter maid
He was a meter man.
She lines up verses in perfect parade,
Darned if I know how she can.
He's got the rhythm
It always goes with him
Constant as waves upon sand.
She was a meter maid...yes, she was
And he was a meter man.

He was a meter man.
She was a meter maid.
Words came forth flowing from two rhyming pens,
Soldiers in marching brigade.
It was their fashion
To post them at Passions
They never will stop, I'm afraid
For he is a meter man...through and through
And she is a meter maid.

Ah Michael. How wonderful to read you this morning. This was delightful!

Liz, you are truly a woman of meter. How I loved to watch you out there on the porch in Cape Cod writing away. It's still such a wonderful scene in my mind.

Love and thoughts are being sent along to our meter maid.

Best wishes and hugs,
/Kit

Thank you for reposting this Deer. I'm sure it will make Liz smile as it did me.
