Clippedy-Cloppedy
Thracian-born Spartacus
-- Captured a freeman and
sold as a slave--
Rome's insurrectionist
Gladitorial
Slaughtered his getaway,
Error most grave.
Long-short-short, long-short-short
Dactyls in dimeter,
Verse form with choriambs
(Masculine rhyme):
One sentence (two stanzas)
Hexasyllabically
Challenges poets who
Don't have the time.
Higgledy-piggledy
Claudian Livia
Numbered her husband Au-
gustus's days;
armed with her aconite,
premeditatedly,
Spiced up his life as she
"Fig"ured her ways...
Higgledy-Piggledy
Matthew and Ginger are
Planning to wed on the
Thirteenth of June;
So, to commemorate
Connubiality,
I bought a present, now
Let's hear that tune!
