I have started writing a description of the boundary of Greater London in iambic pentameter.

Uxbridge is where our Journey will Begin;
where Oxford Road does bridge the River Colne;
our Boundary does chase the Torrent north;
til Hertfordshire we touch, and then go East

i may have gone a little crazy.

you see, someone asked on IRC to what extent were we allowed to use official government maps which actually define boundaries. and i said, no, you can't. but you can use the prose descriptions attached to them. and then i said that, come to think of it, you could use verse descriptions attached to them, as well, were there any.

The two middle lines aren't quite iambic pentameter, but would be with the addition of two syllables each. This looks like prospective glorious silliness, though.

I swear they had ten syllables when I typed them!
