Brown Boris
The first stanza is by Boris Johnson and is to be found in the article about him in The Wall Street Journal. He is referring to Gordon Brown.
The lineation and continuation is my own, referring (rather obviously) to a. a woman and b. a dog. Sphereans are encouraged to contribute. You have to stick to the metre obviously.
Bring it on
You great big quivering
Invertebrate gelatinous
Jelly of indecision.
Bring it on.
Cuddle up
You sweet soft murmuring
Congenial desirable
Paragon of perfection
Cuddle up
Put it down
You goddammed blithering
Detestable maleficent
Hellhound of Pandemonium
Put it down

Isn't this the most wonderful form for invective??!!
Totally Shakesperian.
I'm glad you started it, John!
And good ones, Rick and Janet! I want more!

Oh - oh,
This is degenerating, like that telephone game. I may have started the process by hyphenating half-assed, which is supposed to be counted as two words. I think this deal is meant to be syllabic, thus:
1/ 1 / 1
1 / 1 / 1 / 3
4 / 4
2/ 1/4
1/1 /1 (repeat first line)
no?

Rick, I had no idea we were talking syllabics since John's two examples wouldn't fit the model you've proposed.
