    I once shot a man in Reno, but it didn’t make me cry,
    Too hardened now to be troubled, but don’t bother asking why,
    He tried to bar my way to that tower which holds all worlds high;
    Now you know the reason why that man in Reno had to die.

    Not that it’s not blatantly obvious, but a cookie to the first person who names that reference! This is my first post, I LOVE this comic, and I’m working my way through all the previous blags.

    The above poster Ben has the scan entirely correct.
    (-) -x-x-x-x-x-x
    or alternately if we take it as two seperate lines
    (-)-x-x-x-
    x-x-x

    Depending on how you look at it its either six feet of iambic (i.e. iambic hexameter), or three and a half feet of iambic and two and a half feet of trochee. These are both absolutely typical english meters. German too. They are very very easy to formulate and often times we speak that way without even realizing it. That means they often sound the most natural, especially in a song. Music is often rhythm based and meter in song lyrics often ties in with the rhythm.

    Personally I think it makes more sense to look at it as one line, but thats just me.

    : ) Love the comic!
