The next song, Moonlight in Vermont... I don't remember the first time I heard it. Maybe from Maxine, she was a big Sarah Vaughan fan. I love it so much.
Two surprises for me. I never realized the song contains no rhyming lines at all, for one. Mark pointed out the other one, which brought us all up short-- "The first line has five syllables, the second line has seven, and the third line has five." A haiku. Haikus don't rhyme, and are often about nature and the seasons. A beautiful song I never realized was a poem as well.
