DMC: "Septercet of a Septercet" by Lynzee





SEPTERCET OF A SEPTERCET

TEACHER:
Three lines, Seven syllables,
Is it hard? No, it isn't,
Go on try a septercet.

STUDENT:
Fine, I'll do it! how 'bout this?
Moon, why are you awake now?
What time do you go to sleep?

TEACHER:
I saw the moon yesterday,
Bright in early morning sky,
Give a septercet a try!
