And just pour encourager les autres, here's another one:

Snippery, snappery,
Jackie of Louisville
Gutter policewoman
Extraordinaire;

Nagging here, niggling there,
Respectability!
Gutters were beckoning,
Most strange affair!

Gen'ral George Washington he-he
crossed river Delaware
Christmas night seventeen

Hessians rested from
overindulgences
George had not had such a
death free conflict.

Lapidus Napidus
David of Bethlehem
Gazed at the giant who
Razzed with delight:

“Send out your best man to
End the hostility!”
Dave took his slingshot and
Ended the fight.

Hoggetty, moggetty,
Capfka of Kiwiland,
Thoroughly threatening
Some dire fate;

He has his own little
Idiosyncrasy:
Sheep from the first should all
'Cap'itulate.

This interests me greatly, so I've copy-and-pasted the "roolz" and the ur-sample, and printed them out. I hope to compose an entry soon!

OK. Two hours of hard slog produced this:

Snippety-snappety,
Jennifer Aniston's
Famous for "Friends," and for
Wedding Brad Pitt.
But, for the majors in
Astrotrichology,
Jennifer's hairdo is
Her greatest hit.

(A postscript:
I didn't see Capfka's eerily similar "snippery snappery" till just now, when paging through the thread again. Coincidence! Just in case this is a faux pas, though, I ask Capfka to remember the utterance of the rookie stock clerk, who, hefting heavy boxes in his arms, enviously watched the skilled men moving stock with trim machines. "To bear is human," sighed the rookie, "but to forklift, divine!")

Funny, I thought of that, but passed it over as being (a) already much in use, and (b) not tied in to my theme; "snippety-snappety" came to me, and related to haircutters, as well as, perhaps, the "snippiness" of the wisecracking "Friends" gal characters.

OK. Blinking my eyes and returning from a long hibernation:

[Musical prodigy] [or some Argentinian doggerel]
Daniel Barenboim
played the piano
and married Du Pre

She played the cello with
impetuosity;
playing together
they took breath away.
