Loppety-Choppety
A selection of Double Dactyls
Loppety-choppety,
Titus Andronicus,
Self and kin hacked up by
Plotters malign,
Caters a banquet of
Grand Guignol payback, cries
‘Anthropophagical
Vengeance is mine!’
Roly-o-poly-o,
Venus of Willendorf,
Swells with more flesh than she
Ought, lads might say,
But her lush-breasted and
Steatopygian
Look spelt fecundity
Back in the day.
Fairytale-scarytale,
Little Red Riding Hood
Blanched as she stood by her
Grandmother’s bed
Noting the occupant’s
Carnassiality.
‘Grandma, your teeth are so
Big!’ quavered Red.
Arrogant autocrat
King Ozymandias
Put up a statue to
Brag of his throne.
Empires fall — not with
Periodicity,
True — but so frequently
He should have known.
