Help me please!

[milo]

Hey guys! So for an english assignment i need to make a 10+ verse poem with the first verse being

"Hickory, dickory, dock,
The mouse ran up the clock.
The clock struck one,
The mouse ran down,
Hickory, dickory, dock."

I was thinking of making it about time passing, but i'm having a really hard time writing it. Any ideas? Can anyone help me get started? Thanks a lot!

selma, hi

we're not a homework club. though milo has other ideas

actually, I like the idea of becoming a homework club. (though I don't think you even want to know what my homework is.) Still, why not, it might take the edge off of the boredom. Maybe we should make it a site challenge.

I am curious about the rules though. As posted, there is not much you could do with that snippet without just imitating the original (due to the punishing form) but if we are allowed to deviate some, it might become interesting.
