Jerome,

In the marvellous NS book "An Owl in a Sack Troubles No Man", every double dactyl (Wendy's is one of five there, with our own George Simmers' brilliant entry* directly beneath) is split into two stanzas. (Wouldn't really be a 'double' if it's just the one passage, would it? )

When people pressed him for

Details, he stammered and
Went very red.

But this challenge is for 'now' people. (Is it permissible to submit more than one entry?)
