We heard some fabulous Irish bands last night, which reminded me of verbal phrases for musical rhythms:

4/4, reel time: black-and-decker, black-and-decker…

6/8, jig time: rashers-and-sausages, rashers-and-sausages…

4/4, disco time: boots-and-cats-and-boots-and-cats…

Happy Post St. Patrick’s Day!
