I've been playing with the baseball analogy in classes for years. I wish I had a better analogy, but it sort of works, and off I go.Bardiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11846065504793800266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-1161018427850622572006-10-16T10:07:00.000-07:002006-10-16T10:07:00.000-07:00Great analogy regarding baseball -- must be the s...Great analogy regarding baseball -- must be the season!<BR/><BR/>I won't begin to presume that I could offer any advice on this topic, but if you're looking for rhymes that are of a primitive nature, I recall (from a distant -- oh, so distant English class) William Blake's "The Tiger":<BR/> <BR/>"TIGER, tiger, burning bright <BR/>In the forests of the night, <BR/>What immortal hand or eye <BR/>Could frame thy fearful symmetry? <BR/> <BR/>In what distant deeps or skies <BR/>Burnt the fire of thine eyes? <BR/>On what wings dare he aspire? <BR/>What the hand dare seize the fire? <BR/> <BR/>And what shoulder and what art <BR/>Could twist the sinews of thy heart? <BR/>And, when thy heart began to beat, <BR/>What dread hand and what dread feet? <BR/> <BR/>What the hammer? What the chain? <BR/>In what furnace was thy brain? <BR/>What the anvil? What dread grasp <BR/>Dare its deadly terrors clasp? <BR/> <BR/>When the stars threw down their spears, <BR/>And water’d heaven with their tears, <BR/>Did He smile His work to see? <BR/>Did He who made the lamb make thee? <BR/> <BR/>Tiger, tiger, burning bright <BR/>In the forests of the night, <BR/>What immortal hand or eye <BR/>Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?"<BR/><BR/>(Back to baseball...could it be that my team inspired this memory?)<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work!<BR/>AArtemishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15321501062140234923noreply@blogger.com
