The prettiest girl,
I ever saw,
was drinking whiskey,
through a straw!
It certainly has a certain allure when a rhyme comes at the end of the sentence.
Saw the prettiest girl,
I ever seen,
Straw ‘tween her lips,
drinking whiskey.
Nifty, but just not the same. Something about expectation. It is like it fulfills a certain expectation my ears have. Like the way some notes finish well with others, and not with others still.
So is it the noise? Is it the expectation?
