| Wait, normal people don't communicate exclusively in iambic pentameter? Shakespeare lied to me!

− | There is a [[explain_xkcd:Community_portal/Proposals#Merge_Cueball_.26_Rob|community portal discussion]] of what to call Cueball and what to do in case with more than one Cueball. I have added this comic to the new Category:Multiple Cueballs. Since Randall is the one with the hobby and also the one that Cueball represents I have kept Cueball in this explanation and transcript. But made a note of it. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 13:58, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

| |
− | I surely won't attempt to find a cure.<br/>
| |
− | It hardly is a problem, do you mind?<br/>
| |
− | I just can't help that I'm the rhyming kind!

| |
− | If people all around the world agreed,<br/>
| |
− | and rhymed instead of waging wars unjust,<br/>
| |
− | the world would be a better place indeed,<br/>
| |
− | thus, if you ask me, poetry 's a must!

| |
− | That said, if one of you explainers know,<br/>
| |
− | enlighten me on whether there's a rule,<br/>
| |
− | which parts of quads of penta-iambic lines,<br/>
| |
− | should rhyme together, like I just did show?

| |
− | :Though as your stanzas go from here to there,
| |
− | :The scheme does change in ways I need not say.
| |
− | :The second verse is of a type not rare,
| |
− | :In fact I do prefer myself that way.
| |
− | :It's at the last where head and foot alone,
| |
− | :Both rhyme; the lines betwixt are free from that.
| |
− | :In isolation I don't see it shown,
| |
− | :Of which the listed group or style it's at!
