Jiggery pokery,

OHNOYOUDIDN'T.

That is awesome.

Also, heteronormative barons! And Inflammatory Tamburlaine!

I love these (and your previous double dactyls, too). Who knew that "heteronormative" could be such a useful word in poetry?

Realizing that "heteronormative" was a double dactyl was, no lie, one of the most glorious moments of my career as a writer of ridiculous comic verse!

Higgledy Piggledy!!! I love those. Thanks, very amusing.

Please do keep these coming - I'm sending them to my partner in his hospital bed (yes, he brought his laptop to the hospital...), and even though the particular domain of nerdery in which they're located means they require some lengthy exegesis (or at least some hasty wikilinking), they are making his day. :c)

I will, and I am glad they are cheering! I have two (and a half) more Marlowe plays to go, so I certainly must finish the canon. :D

I mean, really - how could asspokering *not* be cheering, provided it rhymes and it's happening to someone else?
