Wherein I did indeed set it in play by way
Of irisblue's Cooking & Baking all day
On her tantalizing Breakfast Sunday

Little girl me
Once
Upon a porch stool
Once
I did wait and watch
Once
Finally caught them
Once
Frosty cold were they
Once
Made me smile so bigly
Once
Snowflakes on my tongue
Once
Oh please I beg let me be
Once
Again --- that little girl me

A silly rhetorical term for the repetition of a word or phrase, as in:

Once
I epimone(d) to allow me to
Once
Prattle-on down the page
Once
I began, 'twas difficult to
Once
Again --- not continue epimone
