I’d just like to link to [a previous thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/double-dactyls-the-higgledy-piggledy-poetry-thread/189418/12)on this topic, featuring (as you may see) the daughter of one of the co-inventors of the form. Funnily (to me, that is. I laughed inwardly to myself), I have just now returned home from the Bronx Zoo; my first visit since 1995, which was meant simply to salvage something from a trip to the Fordham branch of the New York Public Library, reported to possess the only copy of “Jiggery Pokery” in the NYPL system (I didn’t find it and made use of a book searching service, managing to procure a copy for a bit less than $50. This remains to date my only use ever of any such service). Anyway, before too much time passes, though I can’t make rules for this thread in this forum on this website, I’d like to remind everyone that in a proper double-dactyl either the fifth, sixth, or seventh line must be a single word. I’ll try to contribute something new to this thread in the next day or two or three, --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/higgeldy-piggeldy-game/926516)._
