Sneakingly, creepingly, some think annoyingly, twosleepy comes in to fix up the mess
made of a Spanish word, guess that you never heard; "frijole" does not ex- ist; it's "frijol" no less!
Spanglishly, manglishly statesians mess up in trying to use words that aren't English norm,
stumblingly, humblingly, Even the best can learn "-es" removes from the plural noun form.
Wow! Did I write that?!? That was fun! Don't know if I followed all the rules, but I think so... This is a problem usually with "tamales", from which people want to make "tamale", but it doesn't exist; it's "tamal" in the singular. Since so many Spanish words end in vowels, those are easy; just remove the "s". Hope you enjoyed my mini-lesson! :0)

That's a mayor poem and lesson and Etaoin is making hashj from it. And you could have expected this sooner or later:
Dactylus! Dactylus! Olleke bolleke Tweemaal vier regels Die rijmen aan 't slot
Kreet, thema, één woord met Zeslettergrepigheid Moeilijk te maken Maar wat een genot! (borrowed) ---------- AKA: Olleke Bolleke rebuso olleke Olleke Bolleke............Knol! (nursery rhyme)

Your elegant nursery rhyme proves to me once more that the Dutch language is fine for many things, but it does not sing. The difference is obvious.

I find the most difficult part of the Double Dactyl is finding the person's name in that meter. Here's one for today. You can tell I don't have enough work to do!!

She tried to reconcile Enthusiastically; Later declared, “Brad, you’re Really the PITTS.”

Zippity Lippity Catherine DeMedicis, Looking to end the religious divides,
Issued her Edict so Idealistically; Nevertheless many Lost their poor hides. Something made me think of Catherine DeMedicis a couple weeks ago. I don't even remember now what it was. But I thought: "Aha! A double dactyl could arise from this!" And I began to cogitate. Actually, all I truly remembered about her from my school daze was that she was a ruthless woman and a poisoner. As you can see, after doing a little research, I decided to praise her for her good, yet futile, attempt to bring Catholics and Hugenots together. So you see, wordplay is not only fun but educational. I learned things about her I had not known!
