I was suppin' me tea
When it came to me
What a miracle is life
When ye' strip away t'strifeI weeded me plot
Mind, it wasn't so hot
But seeds'r a sprouting
Don't need no shoutin'From those tiny grains
And a fair share o'rains
Comes all that I need
For a right good feed#Yorkshire #Poetry (of sorts) #Rhymes

Inside The Contested Origins Of The ‘Jack And Jill’ Nursery Rhyme
By Kaleena Fraga
From the executions of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette to a satirization of King Charles I's liquor tax, there are countless theories about the true meaning of "Jack and Jill."

Jack and Jill from the book "Denslow's Mother Goose" at PG:

The attached illustration goes with the Lever Language Song at the end of this post. It was drawn, if I recall correctly, by the developer of that language.
Regarding the AI question: It's getting old that people ask that. No, the rhyme was original and extemporaneous.
The question was mild enough this time. However, in the Fall, my Fediverse instance was attacked and a group managed to take down a domain temporarily because one person had decided that I personally must be an LLM.
For your information, my posts. both essays and rhymes, stand out because I'm autistic and have had an unusual life as well. I don't relish the thought of needing to respond repeatedly to statements about "suspiciously like AI slop" during the last stage of my life. Or of justifying my own neurological differences. How would you feel if you tried to offer something creative and fun and got that as a response?
Further, the term "slop" is overused and distracts from the real problems with AI. See my 15-page article on AI at LinkedIn:
https://tinyurl.com/ai-is-fake
To explain the rhymes, I lost the ability to write poetry per se in 1971 due to trauma related to physical and emotional abuse. Over 50 years later, in 2012, something odd happened and I found that I could now not only rhyme but do so extemporaneously.
This was unexpected. Bonsaikitten, who some people in Linux will remember as one of the early leads in Gentoo, told me that it had happened because my mental circuits had had a serious shakeout [or similar wording].
I noticed the change in 2012 when Cody Brocious [now Serafina Brocious] -- part of the team that jailbroke the iPhone -- challenged me to a sort of rap battle. The context was that Brocious had questioned the manner in which I wrote, as you have, though his point was that I sounded odd as opposed to LLM.
My response to Brocious is pasted below. This was extemporaneous except for, I think, one line that I tweaked later. The close is a reference to Brocious's role in breaking the security for a type of hotel room door lock.
DAEKEN FORSAKEN
Daeken, since you ask
Take me to task
So bluntly and rudely
I hear a rhythm with appeal
When I write I feel
I'm singing out loud to you
The lines I write
In my sight
Are a song
If you can't accept that
Right off the bat
/IGNORE is where I belong
So chill. Whitebread Hacker
Not a Slacker
I'll admit
But a drag is sort of
What you are
Go decode an abode API sub-par
Brocious's public response was to deprecate the rhyme but, in private, he [now she] said, "Hats off, dude".
A decade and a half later, I have the makings of an actual chapbook to leave behind. It's an unexpected development for a severely autistic old coder.
I trust that I've explained myself sufficiently. But here's a fragment from my CoderSongs project:
It's time for CoderSongs
Rhymes that you adore
Doggerel that famous belongs
Woof! Dogs bark for more!
LEVER LANGUAGE SONG
1. Lever is a language clever,
Pour a bever-
age and review. Code shall ensue.
This I tell you true
2. Lever Python is not
Lever is a language hot
Here is what with it you can do
You can a tasty beverage brew
Color the sky a new shade of blue
3. Lever has Python-isms
Similar concepts through shiny new prisms
But there are no schisms
Like Ruby and Perl, boy and girl,
the languages are friends, though it depends
4. Here is Lever's setup,
no need to get up,
relax and review. Details are here for you
Prepare for fun under the Finnish sun
because of documentation there is a ton
5. Lever is a language clever,
Pour a bever-
age and review. Code shall ensue.
The reference to Finland is there because the creator of Lever, Henri Tuhola aka Cheery, was Finnish.
A Lever Language illustration is attached. The illustration was hand-drawn by Cheery in the 2010s and is not AI.

Whispers of Remembrance
To my beautiful daughters,In a world full of evil at every turn.Don’t forget the wisdom you have learned. Remember to put God at the center of all you do. No matter what He will bring you through. God gives you discernment for you to use. Sometimes that means some we lose. Count your blessings each and every day. If none can be found, remember the air in your lungs and the words you can say. Do not dress to promote promiscuity.That kind of attention you will never need. Leave it for your […] -
Dear Son,
Son, today I look at you and you're almost a man. Yet I can recall all the times I held your tiny hand. So precious and small and partly me. I never knew I could love so deep. Your baby blues would look back at me. Subdued by the warmth and everything you need. Now look at you towering over me almost ready to spread your wings. Oh how time quickly fades combined in a blur of years, weeks, and days.You may not need me like you use to But mama still has a job to do. No manger how many years go […] -
Homeschool Mama
ABC'S and 123's Teaching young ones how to read. Next Geometry and Chemistry. Now on to ancient history. Back to letters and the sounds they speak. All the while a toddler is tugging at my knee. The dog needs to be fed and probably outside to pee. But right now I am chilling in ancient Greece and teaching about Socrates. The life of a homeschool mama isn't for the weak. Through every lesson, it's His strength we seek. -
My secret keeper
My Secret KeeperI came to you with my story.You held me in all your glory.You told me not to worry.All my sins would wash away.God you are my redeemer.My great and powerful teacher. You are God of creationsand always so gracious. You spoke life into my souland love into my heart. I used to think of myself as not worthy.Too many sins just to forgive them.Might as well go onand worry about it another dayThen, I came to you with my story.You held me in all your glory.You told me not to worry.All […] -
My World
My world I close my eyes and I go into another dimension. The real world is held in suspension. Anything thing can happen, any thing can be, all I have to do is let my mind run free. A break from the everyday race, here I can go at my own pace. I take a breath and step away. I take another drink, what can I say? My reality is paused, my new world is what I have caused Total silence and bliss and I don't focus on things I've missed. Time is not a factor to hold me backand I don't see the […] -
Society
Society Tick tock tick tock my mind focuses on the clock.I know soon I will be in a place called society, to the edge with anxiety.My chest hurts and I can not breath.Does anyone else see whats happening beneath? Wait! Stop! Take a deep breath.I shouldn't feel like I am playing with death.Take a second to regain control before my mind sinks down below. The noise, the crowd, seem to much to bear.I remind myself not to care.All of this is in my mind.I should not do this, time after time.Almost […] -
Waves
Waves of emotions come crashing in. I don't know where my feelings end and others begin.I just want to run and hidebut I can't escape what resides inside.Everyday a fight just to win.a constant struggle deep within. I feel the need to say this is not true. It's all in my head no need to construe. I am no different than the next. I just want attention and that's the effect.But no matter how hard I try.This part of me I can not hide.Most don't understand and that's okay.They are not forced to […] -
Why I Write
My pen glides smoothly over the pages and my mind takes delight in the sight. Each line is soothing as they bring my thoughts to life. My bridled tongue pursuing the words tucked away. Each paragraph oozing as my emotions come to play. Ink splatters on the pages diffusing the chaos in my head. Releasing the strain from the words left unsaid.My pen glides smoothly over the pages as my mind takes delight in the sight. Each line soothing, bringing my thoughts to life. Just as the child […] -
RR
And just like that, the sky opened up, I watched as the gray began to fade, Elms bucked and swayed, I take one hand and pry open the other to accept what he gave, From what I’ve dreamt, from what I’ve prayed, Just like that…washing over my sorrow’s grave. And just like that, the air […]

Miles Apart, Yet Mine
Why does my heart achewhen I’m never really by your side? Why does a single tear in your eyesteach mine how to cry? Why does the distance between us feel so smallwhen the truth is—we are miles apart? This feeling, this pain,this unsettling reason, and this ache; The reason for all this chaosin my heart […]
