Re: Epic Christmas Extravaganza

Do we have to distort the rhythm for the fifth line, too? Up until there, it's anapestic dimeter (arguably anapestic tetrameter, in rhyming couplets, but you've split in two)

Near the camping supplies

But the teeny tiny adds a syllable. A very small man would scan, but anyone smaller than that would be difficult.

Puts on a pedantic grin
