A Septet/Syllabic by Beverly Stock.

Do I like

Horse flies, newts, and bats?

They're not good choices for pets!

You can’t train them to catch a ball,

You can’t really teach them at all.

They are gross in mass.

Thanks, I’ll pass.

In poetry, a septet is a poem consisting of seven lines, and of any form or meter. It falls in-between the two ingredients of a sonnet, the octave and the sestet, and although a popular form for a short while it has lost popularity.
