Ready for some D-versification? This is a poem which I wrote in June of 2006. Now I'm wondering whether the quote about the "required daily minimum of poetry" would fit well as an epigraph to this poem. Don't Know Much About Deuteronomy If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose, and resume your normal dosing schedule. Do not "double-up" on the dose. With a hey, down, down, My erstwhile employer desires me to inform you that its deep, dark secrets are none of your damn business. Do, please, consider it done. with a ho, down, down, Do not forsake me, oh my darling. hey down! Don't even dream about it. ho down! "What, exactly, does 'doo-wah-diddy' mean?" derry, derry, down, Don't ask; don't tell ... among the leaves so green-o. Edit: originally, as posted on April 2, the second sentence (preceding the title of the poem itself) had the word "epigram".  A week later, I corrected this to "epigraph".
