"Tact"
by Paul Pascal
Patty-cake, patty-cake,
Marcus Antonius
What do you think of the
African Queen?
Gubernatorial
Duties require my
Presence in Egypt. Ya
Know what I mean?
The above is an example of the Double Dactyl verse form, which I discovered because someone ordered the book Jiggery-Pokery: A Compendium of Double Dactyls (Anthony Hecht and John Hollander). So swiftly I found it, and so soon I will be mailing it to parts unknown! The heart bleeds.
Normally I swear I'm not easily distracted by our awesome books, but today I have failed.
Right, back to work.
PS. Soft-Eyed Boy has not returned during any of my shifts, but my manager tells me he came in over the weekend and bought $105 worth of books: a Bible, and something so random I can't remember it just now. Go figure.
