Monostich Monopoly


For months (as we have long complained),  Clueless Google sent stringsearchers for “monostich”  on a wild goose chase, sending them to sucky sites and to pages that have nothing to do with monostichs or anything else.   Yet today, for the first time, some of WDJ’s splendid offerings in this department  appear within the top returns, as Wonderful, All-Knowing, Godlike Google  finally wises up.   So -- to all you fans out there in Monostichostan -- today is your day !!

We now celebrate monostichistically (without the least intention of goosing the stats) the monostichality or monostichosity of the vast

-loving public  by coining a new word:

monostichomythia

which means:  rapid back-and-forth dialogue (technically “stichomythia”) consisting entirely of monostichs.    Many plays have a witty interlude that is exactly that.

Here, then, comrades -- now that we are alone -- I can reveal our Secret Plans:

(1) Corner the market in monostichs
(2) Corner the market in couplets
(3) World domination
