Double dactyls: Acharei Mot-K’doshim

A double this week:

Laparra-kaparra
Scapegoat for Azazel,
Offer a second goat:
Choose which by lot.

These two examples of
Artiodactyla*
Are the main victims of
Acharei Mot.

…and…

Holiness, boliness,
Prompt payroll processing,
No divination, and
Be a fair judge.

Marriages cancelled for
Consanguineity;
Keep species separate, and
Don’t bear a grudge.

*a taxonomical order including goats, hippos, llamas, pigs and sheep.

You can play too by posting in the comments! A reminder of the rules of the “dismally difficult” double dactyl:

  1. There must be eight lines.
  2. Lines 1-3 and 5-7 must each consist of a pair of dactyls (that is, dum-der-der dum-der-der).
  3. Lines 4 and 8 must be choriambs (that is, dum-der-der-dum).
  4. Lines 4 and 8 must rhyme.
  5. Line 1 must be nonsense.
  6. Line 2 must be the subject of the poem, ideally a name that is itself a pair of dactyls (eg ‘Laurence Olivier’).
  7. Line 6 must be a single word that is itself a pair of dactyls (eg ‘cardiovascular’).
