western NY 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)

Netherlands, the Hague 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)

Netherlands, the Hague 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.

Oregon, USA 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!!

Jennifer Anniston:
Actress who played in a
Number of hits;
She tried to reconcile
Enthusiastically;
Later declared, “Brad, you’re
Really the PITTS.”

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!
