If you don’t care, why be rude to me? I certainly didn’t start anything with you.
Maybe next time, you could be so kind to save your grudges and sideways accusations for the PMs. It’s taking focus off the poem. 

I’m going to repeat the last relevant question that pertains to the *actual* thread:

Will the reader know all the context about the rhyme that the poem refers to?

I had no idea what the nursery rhyme was referring to, as I am not an expert on 18th century market practices…is your reader going to know that context? 

Also, to Busker, I know you think I’m Shem the Penman’s sock, which is kind of a compliment, since he’s a much better poet than I am. I’m a better human being, but he’s the better poet.

Then let’s not get sidetracked about who I think is or is not ‘Shem’.
I agree that we should focus on the poetry
