About 150,000 years ago, some apes figured out that if they used a stick to beat on another stick while they talked, they could get other apes to pay attention and maybe even have sex with them, and metered verse was born. While the technique has long been abandoned by serious contemporary American poets, as well as other champions of liberty like Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot, a few foreign poets such as Homer, Chaucer and Shakespeare have had modest success with it. In conclusion, it’s difficult to write in meter during a 90-second commercial break, especially if one is using both hands to cram Chick-fil-A into one’s slavering maw.RATING: Ronald Reagan%

You could write a poem in "commercial meter" that we're all afraid of as long as it includes Chick-fil-A and your "slavering maw."

i have no idea what the f is going on in this comment page
By "dam," do you mean "a barrier to obstruct the flow of water, especially one of earth, masonry, etc., built across a stream or river," or "a female parent, used especially of four-footed domestic animals"?
