Though professional singers renounce 'em
Der Spiegel most likely will trounce 'em [SHPEE-g'l]
...And transliterate Lieder [LEE-d'r]
...To transport the reader
Who otherwise couldn't pronounce 'em.
LULLABY - MAGAZINE

Rock in a tall tree top
Lullaby sung ‘til you fall from the tree
Ladies in bombazine,
reading “Vogue” magazine,
Throw up their hands and say, “My Goodness Me!”
(Cross-threading to the Double Dactyl spot!)
-- and I challebge you to get more synthetic than the load of rubbish above, wofa!_________________________

Edit: luckily the Gauntlet's for wofa. - just read this http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_dactyl . *wipes brow*.
How may whole double dactyl words do I know? *counts on fingers* none! Further edit: is any and every six syllable word a double dactyl? I think so.

After a not-quite-exhaustive search I conclude otherwise, he argued indefatiguably.

Couldn't resist:
"I never get tired of fishing the French Fries out of the deep-frier," he said indefatiguably.

Of course! Why shouldn't that pest Ana have a few words to call her own, she said irately.
IRATELY is an amphibrach.
AMPHIBRACH's a dactyl.
ANAPEST's a dactyl,
DACTYL is a trochee,
TROCHEE is a trochee, too.
For that matter, IAMB is a trochee.
There's gotta be a poem in there somewhere.
Or maybe just a jump-rope chant...

I have to admit that I didn't notice it until you pointed it out, Peter. - It is amazing how we readd what we want to see._________________________
