Morse-Code via Poetry

"Morse-Code via Poetry" by Neil Ashby II: Inspiration (and some remaining bits of rhyme) from "How to Learn the Morse Code - The A, B, C in Rhymes About Dots and Dashes" by H-C Eggar (circa 1900). Timing of Morse-Code be via the unit Which neatly matches each of the "dit"; The time for three of such unit to fit Does measure for each "DAH" to sit. Within each character the space is not far As one of unit separates each "dit" and "DAH"; Have three of such unit between each character And seven apart for words to be perfectly clear. The sound often distinguishing For clearly superior receiving Will be the final "dit" or "DAH" Of each separate character. To hear the code as like C-W stream Be pronouncing quickly and clear; To fit as with common Morse rhythm Some "t" of "dit" are omitted here. Morse heard from electro-mag soundah Was something quite different; Each set of "ka-LAHK" formed the "DAH" While its "ka-lik" made the "dit". [1] The First Five of Letter and "N": "A" at its apex-point starts And so with one "dit" leads Of the horizontal line undah That follows as its "DAH" Then the "N" being "DAH-dit" Fits neatly its opposite. For those three of short bit After "DAH" upright long line The "B" has three of short "dit" So "DAH-di-di-dit" sounds just fine. The "C" is "DAH-dit-DAH-dit" Like N-uns at C-hurch met. Take away one of its "dit" And the mid-bit from "B"; Remainder looks and sounds As "DAH-di-dit" for "D"; Then utilize that spare "dit" As to make of an "E": "A" "B" "C" "D" "E"
