The rhyming verse of Robert Service, that great Scots/Canadian war time poet of humour, outback and war is the literary equivalent to me of great music. I don't call it poetry because rhythm and verse are often missing in modern poetry, frowned on as un-intellectual by the pretentious clever dicks who think they know what's best. I say what's best is what you like and everyone is different. Here is an example.
