The issue of <br> tags has come up every year or two.

We all (or most of us) know what a paragarph is. But what about this

<p>
Mary had a little lamb<br>
Its fleece was white as snow<br>
And everywhere that Mary went<br>
Her lamb was sure to go.
</p>

Point being, what is the sematically correct way to mark up poetry or lyrics? There is no <verse>, <stanza> or <line> tag, <li> and <dl> tags don't capture them semantically, although they could be styled to "appear" correctly.

I think the <br> tag is the logical choice in these cases.
