2 for Abraham Cowley

I.

There once was a poet named Cowley
 whose metre was just as unruly
     as Donne's was, a famous
     scribbler, like Seamus
 who rimes consonántly, not vuwelly.


II.

 There once was a poet named Cowley—
 Hey, that rhymes with Aleister Crowley!
     Leastways that's what
     I heard, and not
 a fact I can vouch for personally.
