 | I had forgotten about Double Dactyls. It's a rather challenging form of poetry to write. I stumbled across this one yesterday: Wiffity Woffity (A Double Dactyl) and decided to to try writing one about our first president. |  | This post has been awarded 15 stars by 3 readers. |
Axity Waxity,
President Washington
Chopped down a cherry tree
When just a child;
All of this foolishness,
Historiographers
Tell us, is only a
Legend most wild.
