Meric and I are in AP English together and were assigned a Dactylic poem to make. It has 3 lines of u/u/u/ and one line of u/u/, and it repeats that. Lines 4 and 8 rhyme, lines 6 and 7 rhyme, line 1 is nonsensical words, line 2 is a person's name, and somewhere there's a line made up of one word (real or otherwise).

Without further adieu, our art.

"The Greatest Game Ever Played"

Giggidy, giggidy.
Captain Jack--Franky Gee--
Said in a disco hall,
"White men can't dunk!"

Crackafunktasmicly,
We played some basketball.
He pushed us in the wall.

No we made it up, it is spelled right.

Crackafunktasmically would make more sense, but we were afraid that it'd be pronounced with seven syllables, so we opted for the slightly shorter, probably gramatically incorrect, spelling.
