The Explanatory Quiz is a ribald poetic form intended to express pleasure with a chosen subject, originating in The Polish of Choirs. The rules of the form are applied by poets to produce individual poems which can be recited. The poem is a single couplet. Use of assonance is characteristic of the form. The second line of the couplet uses the same placement of allusions as the first line. The second line of the couplet presents a different view of the subject of the first line. The first line concerns the past. It has four feet with a tone pattern of even-uneven. The second line concerns the future. It has five feet with a tone pattern of even-uneven.
