They are usually written in quatrains with many stanzas. 2 Stanzas from a poem with many stanzas!

O long, long may the ladies sit, With their fans into their hands Before they see Sir Patrick Spens Coming sailing to the strand! Modern Example: My father's gone to New York state For business he must do. I wish that he were here with me, To help paint my bedroom blue. When he gets back, he promised me, A baseball game to see. If I but finish all my work, We'll see a game or three!

And I can't look for it cause my eyes are in it, and I can't call to it cause my mouth is on it ( couldn't hear me anyway cause my ears are on it), can't even think about it cause my brain is in it. So I guess I'll sit down on this rock and rest for just a minute...
