The chosen format is Bagarthach
The Bagarthach is:
• funny or clever but mean spirited.
• short, one quatrain.
• syllabic 8-9-8-9 syllables per line, sometimes all lines are 8 syllables.
• rhymed abab.

Reena, I have to say that this doesn’t feel particularly mean-spirited to me…
But I did enjoy it and it made me chuckle aloud!

LOL! Right? I attend a couple of Zoom meetings a week, and it’s the same thing there. Show your face and take part actively in the meeting should be mandatory. LOL! This is an interesting form. 💜
