Jiggity joggity,
Readers and followers,
Help me to squander my
Hours of rest--

Name me a personage
Hexasyllabic, and
Duplodactylically
I'll do my best.

(Bippity boppity,
One main criterion
Choosing a name so it
Won't be too tough:

Real or imagined or
Mythohistorical,
On Wikipedia
There should be stuff.)

Aral Vorkosigan.

Someone somewhere has surely already done one or more for Benedict Cumberbatch.

And I'm blanking on shared fandoms, so take your pick: Tsukino Usagi, Angua von Uberwald, Katina Choovanski?

[some_stars]

Oh, I don't expect shared fandoms (or shared historical knowledge), hence the wikipedia restriction. These are some very fine names; I'll see what I can do!

[some_stars]

Also regarding Boxwaffle Cuckooclock, perhaps you are remembering this masterpiece?

[petra]

That is a beautiful poem. I don't remember having seen it, and I appreciate knowing it is in the world.

[minoanmiss]

Having read that, I can ask for nothing more.

Damn! Sherlock's Sgt. Sally Donovan is missing a syllable whether you use her name or her rank.

Your prompt is so impressive that I really wanted to give you something to work with here ...

[some_stars]

Sgt. S. Donovan is a legitimate stretch, I think. At least judging by the other double dactyls I've seen, which freely insert adjectives and diminutives.

I love you so much.

Natasha Romanov.

[some_stars]

TRAGICALLY, although she was literally like the third person I thought of when this madness descended on me, it's not two dactyls :(

[vass]

Not without forcing the meter a bit, true.

Okay. Anakin Skywalker?

Or, since she's already been requested, Samuel Winchester.

Headmaster Dumbledore!
