Down across the mire,
lived the Meaty Bigatoo,
in his fiddly waddy kipple,
on the Doddle by the Skew.

Oh the mighty Skew was thundering
down the Niddler, in a rush,
breaking fiddly waddy kipples,
turning Doddles near to mush!

Well the Meaty Bigatoo,
put the Spoodle into action,
and he wound the Mardy Toodle -
got a snig on said contraption.

Just as Skew came shlapping,
Mardy Toodle got to work,
old Niddler stippled kipples-
and the Toodle tipped the querk!

Meaty Bigatoo were happy,
and the Skew was ribbled raw,
but the fiddly waddy kipple,
and said Spoodle are no more!
:wink:

There's no nonsense like good nonsense, and this is good nonsense. Have you been dipping into Edward Lear, firefly? Sounds like it, and that's no bad thing.

Cheers

This was fun. I admire the silliness of it. Fun to read aloud.
Thanks, it was a pleasant Sunday evening read.

I found it funny. Did not make any sense though.

I don't know what else to say..........sorry.

Hello Lovely, please don't be sorry! This is a nonsense poem, it's not meant to make any sense really, only what you make of it yourself. The fact that you found it funny is good though, thanks for reading.
