Poetic Carousel 4

Blogpost: blog.illestpreacha.com/napowri

#NaPoWriMo #NaPoGenMo #Ruby #Python #Carousel

For the 9th poem of #NaPoWriMo/ #NaPoGenMo 2025, Poetic Carousel 4 contains rules and prompts coded in# Ruby & #Python. This is done by making a comparison between 6 random and shuffle assortments of the alphabet and only outputting letters that match as seen in the code for
blog.illestpreacha.com/napowri .

For the 2025 edition, an extra shuffle was added for more variance.

"You'll Never Walk Alone" is a #showTune from the 1945 #RodgersAndHammerstein musical #Carousel. In the second act of the musical, Nettie Fowler, the cousin of the protagonist Julie Jordan, sings #YoullNeverWalkAlone to comfort and encourage Julie when her husband, Billy Bigelow, the male lead, stabs himself with a knife whilst trying to run away after attempting a robbery with his mate Jigger and dies in her arms.

Picture from last night, in my dressing room, as I was waiting to sing “You’ll never walk alone” from the musical Carousel by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II at the New Year's reception of the Darmstadt 98 sports club, also called “Die Lilien”.

For some reason, that’s a football anthem!?! Gotta love them for picking a work by Jews! Go Lilien!
