So we've had half the board furiously writing limericks; now how about stepping it up to the next level with a double dactyl challenge?

A dactyl is a speech rhythm consisting of one stressed syllable followed by two unstressed ones (DA-dada) as in "Hartlepool".
A double dactyl is a humorous or clever poem that uses this rhythm twice over in all its lines but the last one.

There are a few rules:
- The structure is two stanzas (verses), both following the pattern below.
DA-dada DA-dada
DA-dada DA-dada
DA-dada DA-dada
DA-dada-DA

- The first line of the first stanza must be two rhyming dactyls that form a nonsense phrase e.g., Higgledy piggledy, Hickory dickory, Thuggery Buggery
- The second line of the first stanza must contain a proper name in dactyl form, e.g., Darlington peg sellers
- The only compulsory rhyme between lines is on the final "DA" of each stanza
- One of the second stanza’s first three lines must be a single six-syllable word, e.g., extraterrestrial (valid hyphenated prefixes are allowed as part of this word, e.g. Anglo-Bolivian).

Here's a complete example:

Floatacol Boatacol
Bunkerite protocol
Challenges newbies to
Prove they are sound

Oldies invite them to
Work out the meaning of
"Sexualistically
Don't hang around!"

Yeah ill pass on that one.

Always one who takes it too far

Jog on ya plum

Flavoury quavery
Walker's new savoury
won all the plaudits for
crisp of the week.

Eat them at breakfast-time
coated with eglantine,
quasi-narcotical
healer of pique.

Mooner, booner,
Meet Doctor Spooner...
With a talent
I just love to bits

There's some on here
he'd call
Not apologetically
right little shining wits.

Fantastical imagery,
Floaty and shimmery,
Yubep rejects it though
Just 'cos he's thick.

Morrisons salad box,
DJ's like Sarah Cox
Accessible bollox
Thick as a brick.

I thang yew.....here 'til Wednesday, try the fish....
