Oh My!

I am slowly learning the things I thought as a child. They were true, some of them, and this one was saved for after the bad news that so mant of my delusions were precisely that. I am not entirely a fool!

I had thought, it was sort of foreshadowed by a teacher in Enlish Literature who instead of poetry we studied Lyrics from old songs. I then decided that Poetry had been the evolution of song. When I listened more carefully to the Smiths my shock continued, but this I think just occurred to me as I was washing dishes.

The forms used in popular poetry and songs are the very same "forms" I had studied in Form and Analysis courses at Ole Miss (Theory IV). And Lena likes to find patterns in rhyme schemes and I had noticed that they are similar to those we studied, too. This cries out for careful reseach and a dutiful paper by some reknowned musicologist or professor of theory somewhere, currently, i do not have much evidence beyond a hunch. Speaking of hunches, I need to finish my season of "Terra Nova" I had paused it to put the kids in bed. where someone said not to discredit information just because there is no evidence, yet.
