A poem in Rime Couée form, described after the poem.

I don't know the words to that song.
so I make up some and sing along
to the tune.
It no longer reaches my ears,
'cause I haven't heard it in years.
It's a haze.



The elements of Rime Couée are:
1. stanzaic, written in any number of sixains, each made up of two tercets.
2. accentual, folk meter of normal speech. L1,L2, L4, L5 are longer lines
         of a similar length, L3 and L6 are shorter lines of the same length.
3. rhymed, rhyme scheme aabccb, ddeffe etc.
