Another good example of form and your usual play on words.

Norm,
An excellent poem.  I might be able to write in this form, maybe not, most of my rhyme is unmetered...

To Be  - A Rubai

It isn't too easy being the "B,"
It can never be first, that you can see
'Cause that is always reserved for the "A"
Always try to be what you want to be.

Rubai
Four lines of ten syllables, rhymed aaba. Also known as the Omar Khayyam quatrain or Rubaiyat Stanza.
