This is the sixth poem for NaPoWriMo 2024. It is my attempt at a Rondeau, but I must call it a modified or non-traditional Rondeau, as it wasn't until after I completed it that I realized I didn't follow the rhyme scheme. A rondeau is a fixed form of poetry. It is often used in light or witty poems. It often has fifteen octo - or decasyllabic lines with three stanzas. It usually only has two rhymes used in the poem.
A word or words from the first part of the first line are used as a refrain ending the second and third stanzas. The rhyme scheme is aabba aabR aabbaR.

Tomorrow I shall try another one and stick to the rules.
