When you've been visited by something
you're sure you've seen before
When you stayed up particularly late
and burned a hole into the floor

The next morn' its name escaped you,
because perhaps you're not allowed
Despite the fact that just before
its presence you avowed

That, my friend, is Ritornello
The only name we know
Because trying to describe it concretely
will only lead to woe

So, start outside, and pin it down
Create a shell around the idea
Surround the invisible object
Reveal the shape of its renown

This is how it is, and
This is how it has to be
Use any means possible,
but never directly

Use sound, image, and words
and make sure to have fun

For once your efforts produce fruit
they will surely have been well-won.
