In an act atypical of my modus operandi, I have been unofficially developing the “A Clapper Lark” sketch whilst officially working on “A Rhebok!”. This is in part because the larks are very active at the moment, keeping the sketch fresh in my mind. Though I prefer devoting myself wholly to one poem at a time, I find simultaneously exploring another provides (at least in this instance) an engaging diversion. Besides, I cannot help but think of possibilities for “A Clapper Lark”’s verses—its theme and style are irresistible!
