After someone on rmf said it would be quite a challenge to write verse that was technically both masculine- and double-rhymed
If you want to encompass the self-contradictory
Form of a double but masculine rhyme
Have all of your endings constrained to be stricter, e-
quating the offbeats and keeping in time
The trip of a trochee with downbeat emphatical
Flow of enjambment to run-on a line
Unorthodox syntax that's quasi-grammatical
Poetic licence averting a fine
Seduction of endings deceptively feminine
Shifting of stresses to make them align
Removal of elements, root, branch and stem in in-
sistent attempts at perfecting a rhine ("sorry, 'rhyme'")
The cheerfully bawdy content of a limerick
Haiku, in English essentially chimeric
Ottava rima, with structure inviolate
Sestina, villanelle, rondeau and triolet
Sparkling epigram, rhetoric terse
Icelandic saga and heroic verse
Sift through these forms for a feature instillable
Focus upon the penultimate syllable
Pull out an optional rhyme from a sleeve
And a masculine double is what you achieve
If you want to perfect this appeal to perversity
Steal from the masters of old, if you can
The rhythms of Kipling in all their diversity
Poe, who proceeded according to plan
The panache of Lehrer reciting The Elements
Hopkins, whose lines are a trial to scan
The visions of Coleridge, whose dreams would compel him, in-
spiring verse without measure to man
The ripple of Swinburne, quite incomprehensible
Joyce and his followers, even less sensible
Snippets of Carroll, both curious and quizzical
Marvell and Donne with conceits metaphysical
William McGonagall, Chesterton, Pope
Gilbertansullivan, Strugnell 'n' Cope
Sift through their verses for lines ending stressedly
Notice the options that lurk there unguessedly
Give them a barely perceptible tweak
And a masculine double is what you will wreak
Notes: Wendy Cope is a marvellous poet and parodist, whose fictional creation, Jason Strugnell, writes imitative verse in the manner of various famous poets. The 'according to plan' bit refers to the essay in which Poe outlines the severely intellectual side of 'The Raven's creation. Gilbertansullivan is, of course, the delightful author of 'The Soldiers of our Queen', whose tune this filk steals unapologetically.
