Can I have a sweetie mr blunt!!!!Can ya f**k!!!! Ok...here goes!Has this sits in the realm of Limerick using meter and syllable counts to create tempo, can I suggest a small tweak ?The syllable count on lines 1&2 are both metric ( 11 syllables) and have tempo,..however line 3 is unmetered because of the enjambment ...( wrapped line) and because it runs 2 syllables short, it stutters ....( the word “little” will sort this out ) This is now metered, with the correct syllable tempo...Can I have a little sweetie mr bluntCan I have a little sweetie mr bluntCan I have a little sweetie a proper little sweetieCan I have a little sweetie mr bluntCan ya f**k!!!! As a first attempt at caustic humour using a poetic yet singy songy reference....you kind of failed in an adorable way

As a first attempt at caustic humour using a poetic yet singy songy reference....you kind of failed in an adorable wayThere's also the use of the exclamation marks rather than question marks. The way I'd read the meter of the first two lines if the librettist had used question marks, I'd put the emphasis on "have".But that makes no sense with exclamation marks, because those imply that this line is now not imploring Mr Blunt for a little sweetie, but rather bragging that the librettist CAN indeed handle his sweeties. In which case, logically there should be emphasis on the words "Can I". In which case, f**k knows what the meter is.
