crazylibertarian Loc: Florida by way of New York & Rhode Island

There's a book entitled, In the Palm of Your Hand, a teaching book for various poetry forms. I was using it to learn to write poetry and at the time of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, I was reading the section on the double dactyl.

The double dactyl was used in the early part of the nineteenth century to skewer politicians. I came up with this. I hope you like it.

Clinton. Shminton. William J. Clinton.
She says they did it.
He says oh not.

Slick's got a problem.
Spermatogenesis.
Slicky forgot.
Her dress has that spot.

Thanks. I haven't worked any poetry in a long time but I may start again.

You should check into the double dactyl though. It's an interesing format.
