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.
