ope

ope

ope was shorthand slang for the son

of sheriff andy taylor

in the mythical town of mayberry

on a tv show of the sixties

..

usually people called him opie instead of ope

and usually we say open

instead of ope

but sometimes we are theatrical

..

it would be dopie to continue

but we must cope with preserved structure

and hope for resonance

so we end with a microscope
