On New York Magazine's competition page, occasionally there is a 

Double Dactyl writing contest.  These are about 10 years old. Unfortunately,

I don't have the author's name for each one.



Some have been edited a wee bit.

ONE-TRACK MIND



Dingely, Dangely,

Freud, the psychiatrist

Shocked the whole world when he

Wrote about sex:



Claimed that symbolically,

Incontrovertibly,

One sees a phallus in

All things convex.

 DIVINE THOUGHTS



Higgledy Piggledy

Jesus of Nazareth

Proffered his followers

Candid advice:

                                                  

"Peripatetical

Peregrinations on

Water are practical

Only on ice."
