SIJO ON SIJO -
Back in seventy seven, - I first learned about Sijo.
A form of po’try from Korea; I thought I'd give it a go.
Oh sijo, sijo, o-oh write sijo, sijo
Oh sijo, sijo, o-oh write sijo, sijo
Constructed in three sentences, divided into two lines.
The beauty of the Sijo is, it doesn't have to rhyme.
Oh sijo, sijo, o-oh write sijo, sijo
Oh sijo, sijo, o-oh write sijo, sijo
Syllable counts aren’t rigid, for any sentences you write -
Fourteen, fifteen or sixteen - whatever you choose is alright.
Oh sijo, sijo, o-oh write sijo, sijo
Oh sijo, sijo, o-oh write sijo, sijo
[Repeat refrain to fadeout]
