The other day I was inspired to write God, the Goalpost, and Gimme Scriptures: A Double Dactyl after reading Drop Kick Me Jesus Through the Goal Post of Life: School Board to Meet on Christian Cheerleader Controversy, a post at the blog of Professor Jonathan Turley, a nationally recognized legal scholar who teaches at George Washington University.
Julie Larios, an award-winning poet, read my poem and decided to write her own double dactyl on the same subject. She left her poem in the comments. Julie gave me permission to post it at Political Verses. Thanks, Julie! It’s a clever double dactyl.
NOTE: In order to truly appreciate Julie’s poem, you should read the post at Professor Turley’s blog.
A Double Dactyl
by Julie Larios
Jiggery Pokery,
Warriors are winners!
Boo the Beatitudes,
losers are lame.
Even if we play most
Fort-Oglethorpishly,
God's on our side, kids,
so He'll throw the game.

Oh, got a great laugh out of this poem and the Turley post. Of course, the fact that this is a real situation isn't funny, it's pathetic. But still...love your 3rd and 4th lines.
ReplyDeleteLaura,
ReplyDeleteJulie definitely has a talent for writing clever light verse.
