Here’s a goofy poem that I wrote a few years ago! The style is inspired by the Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll. Enjoy and let me know what you think. Anything that I could revise?

 

Yarlaguk and Bumble Bee

A nonsense poem fable

 

The clumsy five-toed Yarlaguk

Sat down by the wavey brook,

Watching while the Willies wuked the whirl.

Thinking to himself belong,

In a very dreamy tong

Said, “Isn’t such a day just like a song!

I wish, just wish, that I could dance along!

If I could waltz in gargle-fly,

Or even march a lullably,

Wouldn’t the bright ski of sky be long!”

“But no!” laughed a passing bee,

“In the sky the skee is me!

And netter flew a better bree than I!”

But while he spake this silly drath,

A tree walked up and block’d his path!

And netter bee had better cried than he.

The clumsy five-toed Yarlaguk

Laughed until his feathers shook!

And said, “I have my lesson took!

I’ll sit down by this wavey brook,

And all around me gladly look,

But I’ll let the whirl the Willies wuk,

And do the dee that’s blub and blook for me.”
