Jane Dougherty has come up with a theme for May . It is 42, now Jane describes it thus: “42 after Douglas Adams’ answer to the question of life, the universe and everything. The form is like the Cherita in its structure with a bit of added interest. The first line/stanza asks a question or makes a statement that begs a question, the second stanza/two lines sets the scene or the background, the last stanza/three lines answers the question or resolves it in some way.
Why don’t monkeys care
Ignoring the truth is not fair
Are you afraid tempers will flare
You go on, cover your ears
Cover your eyes to your fear
Shut your mouth so no one hears
