they each took less than a minute, though the first one felt like it took longer without the rhyme scheme to make it flow.

whoops, i posted my times, but didn't comment. anyhow:

13:30

13:05

the first one took longer to recite because of the structure. both 1 and 2 have numerous clauses separated by commas, but the second was easier to read simply because the stacked structure made it easier to keep a rhythmic pace.

11 seconds, 9 seconds.

12 seconds and 10 seconds, but i didn't get all the meaning because i felt like i had to rush through them. so i went back and read them again.
