nicely unfinished, isn't it?
(maybe it's my imagination..is the syllable count off on that middle line? I'm a little too tired to tell right now..)

It is, and more's the pity. (Mine came out 5-7-5, FWIW.)

It's not your imagination. I'm guessing the problem is 'able'. My mother-in-law will happily tell you that it's one syllable, because the 'e' is silent and there's only one other vowel (and she's a teacher). Clearly, that's wrong.



Either the l is syllablic, or there's a schwa in the pronunciation. Either way, two syllables.

Just my geeking for the night. :)
