The Double Deal

Read aloud to enhance the effect! I dare you.

The dean of Dartmouth College denied drinking down a dozen daiquiris before daybreak.  Dean Davis deftly downplayed his dubious doubters, by citing his doctorate degree as proof of his dazzling character.  This document would declare the Dean to be debonair and dashing; detoxed and dogmatic (his dog is a Doberman) ergo, the Dartmouth deacons decided to delay any decision about Dean Davis until his disk drives were dismantled from his database.

The Dean’s diet was a disaster! Daily, he would down a drove of doughnut holes, followed by a date topped Danish.   Dinner concluded with deviled eggs, deviled ham, and for dessert, devil’s food cake.  He enjoyed dinning with dowagers who dominated the dialogue at the table.  These diction devotees disliked discussions that didn’t downplay docents.

Dean Davis’ main squeeze was Daphne.  He gave her daisies daily and daydreamed about delivering a detached delicatessen to her doorstep.  Daphne had dabbled in Dodge Darts for decades; her next demo debut would be a De Lorean with a Desoto motor, and a Datsun dashboard.  Daphne was born in Des Moines, but dreamed of a day when a Dodge Dart diesel could drive from Duluth to Dallas during the dust bowl season.

On dress up day, Daphne would don a diaphanous Dior dress of distinction that would dominate the dressing room.  Other designers were dizzy with envy; their dashiki wearing daughters played dominoes for a distraction from their doldrums.

Dean Davis and Daphne planned a drive from Darlington to Delray in December.  Daphne decided to discount their double occupancy rooms at Days Inn, which would decrease their downtime, and increase their discount.  They would stop for a demitasse in Dallas, down a draft beer in Denver, and finally dine on duck and dill pickles in Detroit.

Daphne delighted in drying flowers while driving a dilapidated dune buggy downhill.  She did her darndest to delay the delegates from decomposing the dandelions and used duct tape on delicate daffodils to disarm their defensive death traps.  Every dahlia and daylily were in debt to Daphne for defending them from the Duke and Duchess of Dubonat.

No donkeys were destroyed during the dictation of this diatribe.   ` Don.
