Subject:        Titus Double Dactyl

I think Fran Teague's sixth line is perfect, but the fourth and fifth
lines limp to my ear.  Don't you need dactyls rather than iambs?  If so,
how 'bout:

    Higgledy, Piggledy
    Titus Andronicus
    Wanted to cook up a Mother's Day meal.
    Barbecued beautif'ly
    Anthropophagic'ly,
    Polit'cly correctly,
    Didn't use veal.

My sixth line is not precisely a dactyl, but it's funny.  Isn't it?
