Emily shmemily,
Emily Dickinson,
Recluse and poetess,
Rendered her rhyme

Idiosyncrously,
Much of her poetry
Reading most cryptically
Much of the time.

idiosyncrously – like "idiosyncratically" but doubly dactyllic

Li'l Moo

Moo Deng
Is too deng
Adorable,
And if you disagree with me (about anything) then you're
terrible, horrible, torrible and—******!—just absolutely
******* deplorable!

A Leaf Falls

A yellow leaf falls
And hits me in the stomach:
Last day of summer.

Ignoble Numbers

Robert Herrick,
Poet and cleric,
Wrote numbers that were noble
When they weren't ignoble.
