The soil won't grow crops, the bankers say
That's why we must take your land away
For we need profit here and now
We need a lot, we don't care how
Challenge #2: Each new line should start with a capital letter. Can you find one that doesn't?
Thoughts: If it looks like the text has been glued on, it's because it has. This page had to be rewritten and my mom was adamant about not letting me reprint the whole page since color ink cartridges were not cheap. The original text on this page read as followed:
The soil won't grow crop, it says
That's why I must take it away
For I need profit here and now
I need a lot, I don't care how
As you've probably noticed says and away don't rhyme. For some reason, I thought I could force them to rhyme. I don't know what led me to believe this, but the most logical explanation is that I was hitting the crack pipe pretty hard. Unfortunately, there's a fatal flaw in this theory: I don't smoke anything, let alone crack. So by default, it must have been total arrogance that led me to the conclusion that words can rhyme if I believe hard enough. Yes, my delusional teenage mind apparently convinced itself that longstanding rules of grammar and pronunciation could be subverted for my own convenience. Oh well, at least I realized I was being a douche and changed it.
