Da, Da, Da
November 6, 2011A rather more experimental Mikiature this time, where "experimental" is synonymous for "desperate". I'm not the first person in the world - I think I'm probably the seventh or eighth - to have noticed that 95% of the bad words in English begin with D. It took me over 200 minutes to write these 200 words. I wonder if that makes me the slowest (and worst) writer in history? OK, here goes.

Da, Da, Da
Driving disastrously down Drizzly Descent during Denmark’s depression, Dreamy Dave deemed “dem d-words” decidedly demoralising:

D-word detractors despised Dave’s diabolically drafted “Daft Dimerick”:
Dave’s Daft Dimerick
Drusilla’s Dad’s definitely deadly
Delilah’s deeds detonate debris
Damnation! Despair!
Dark demons declare,
“Dis dimerick’s downrightly deathly!”
Dear, doh dear, doh dear!
