Double dactyls: B’har-B’chukkotai

A double this week:

Peachily-Geldoffy,
Jubilee debt relief:
Land sales unravelled and
Loans are forgave.

Using a calendar
Septa-septennial,*
Leave the land fallow and
Free every slave.

…and…

Tochachy, tochachah,
Curses and misery:
Try to avoid getting
God in a strop.

Famine will render you
Anthropophagical,
Working the land but pro-
Ducing no crop.

*this definitely, unquestioningly, means ‘on a 49-year basis’

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’).
