the drunken genius
I’ve lost it and I can’t go on. I forgot what I, you know, I thought about it, and it was a beautiful vision, my personal masterpiece, like sex, you even balanced iambic pentameter and everything, you know, the works, now it is gone, I forgot it…the topic… It was the best it coulda ever been…I don’t wanna ever write again, if it’s not included, no more you know, the bestest, it’s lost, hook, line, now I’m the Sunker!
But I shant let it be, nowhere but up, someone wiser wrote, show me a sane guy and he’ll be insanely cured…drink me up mates, bartenders keep it comin another, to be or not I be…while I rest my head on this wooden bar top, soft. Coulda shaped it like clay into a French quatrain or pantoum,
and it woulda been big like:
Ask not, what you, so I can do you for!
Hey do you guys have onion soup?

The Goldenest Rule
If wizzles were snizzles and sniffles were snu,
remembring disembling could crucify you.
Right off with your headers from youlder to yawl,
conundrumming slumbering dally-ma-dawl.
Your sigh at the sight of the sniggling snoud
(those pointers who jointedly sniggle out loud)
would freezingly fry every inchy blood blue,
confoundingly pounding most tempest review.
Tough hangingly banging, behindedly left,
for sinnerly winners, woe-gonely bereft,
no solacing somberment, salvingly spread
could smather the lather of dumb numbing dread.
But then! in the stinklingest inkling around,
your off-headed dreadies warp wildly, unwound
flat out at a speed, seeding dust in the wind,
while sigh-sounding cruciform grudgingly grinned.
Last word-stuttered utter on pawllish parade,
“Surcease such secreting of wizz-snizzled splay!”
The course moralled madly must babblingly be:
Do tutu allothers as theydo to me.
Suumer
Drizzle bizzle fizzle
Scordle brotle heur
O whet 'tis it?
'Twas bet only ev'r be.
Suumer, heaching San
For lone boing hearth
Timely lads yondering
Al thee wey slaughing.
Ne'er did I fathom,
Wat is it 'bout Suumer
Dat thea gather to cheer.
Drey, gin, rum!
Is it de breely great warm
Adding to thy vibe.
I wonder and ponder.
What makes dis fun?
To say I must or
Maybe, lee wandering
Better longer duration
Of de daily blu sky.
Suumer, whet a grand
Tym for outings ´nd
Much more beachy time.
Truly, right so.
I do love thee.
Come stay for 'while
Suumer. Now I need
A lemonade.
All The Day
All the day, I might say,
Goes the Mister,
His hipoto is grey;
the feet of it blister.
All the day, it jumbles around,
the hipoto mumbles a tune;
Makes a mighty fine sound,
And you might just hear it soon
All the day, the yoolick plays
Dancing about with the hipoto
Nobody can possibly say,
what they have as a motto
And all the day, the hunters hunt
For the hipoto, and yoolick
Never finding the runt
But always getting sick.
Glophus
To the other side of Vro
The gelliwunks did go
Grewbing slagins up the sides
And doobins in the slo.
But when the frambit haught
A kiddington was sought
And nothing ventured over flit
Was anything it ought.
So when I hallied zan
A distican began
Starting in the wallifus
And ending at the shan.
And I’m sure it won’t happen again!
The Hakestrade
All lurmond and queet was he,
moirish to his very core.
Never wint I so gwarmy
a throthfract as he.
Ah, but to strue at the very
enstrueing is best, as they say.
Many long morth have past
since first our glamwit broles
did carrunt together.
And yarly did we minsch
one to the other, in that strue.
He was trissom and fleeth,
no hint of gurgishness in him,
then. Yea, I sisperth myself
no small durl when I haebleed
my minnery of him.
But, morret and alon, he
begormed before my very nins.
Margy and puellid he grew,
susserpating his voice became,
and his very prestery blanned into
sheer cromigiery.
Soon I could twithly bestrom
his very innuration. Every
preet, every hawm,
every treening goit of him made me
wambrish in my very finnows.
Now he brames at me, yurling my
clature and snurling his trilleries,
hoping to aumbre my grilth,
but I sprine him, I sprine him
to his unserous plute.
I keet him now, barbling and
snivving at me, making such
a frimbellaria of it all.
I should wroge him, trafe him,
bratten his nerts until they blorf!
Ah, but no. I must be the
quincel lad, the airly brove.
But yea, surely, one fine hawling,
I would not be gorwinkled to
find him purnt and garley,
sprecked from colm to carn,
and a right long chiggle I will
have of it, too.
A kid’s morning sonnet.
She smaterat on the bombelertone
until her mother called her for breakfast.
Angela! Come hither, dear and get rone,
before the bezzelwads become cold fast.
Angela scedoodled down the steep stairs
and swooped into the grimmelstead swiftly.
She couldn't wait to demorscalize bare
Her plate of bezzelwads with the mifmy.
The mifmy and bezzelwads didn't last
But five miscrundlebids before she boomed.
Oh my! I can't believe I'm so flubast!
Time to grifmumblefledfly off to school.
While her day was pleasantly smartskidore.
She couldn't wait to smaterat once more.

The Wishalur
Tinker-trank, tinker-snap, I see the Wishalur on the tracks,
Ebin-tann, ebin-krann, wishes it grants, whoever gowran.
Trish-leapin, trish-lapin, raise my bow without missin',
Golarag, golarag, it mocks me, that rebelkin lag.
Gressendo is my name, and I plan to play this prolossen game.
On my father's name, I shall end this without lamé.
Mine wife and seven children are a-waiting me,
Ready to dine once I bring a fine prize, for dear Emi.
The Wishalur tonkles it's twashlon cress,
And swims in the sky like a sea-wogglin' bess.
Emi, my child, you shall see this Wishalur,
Even if it means sacrificing my Rosenguir.
Adoe! Look! The Wishalur! Eating the swandalar fruits!
Aim true, mine Rosenguir, for the Wishalur is near it's roots.
Zwish! It flies! Wounding the Wishalur's sixth hind leg,
While it falls, twashlon head hung low, it begs.
"Spare me, Tinrothen hunter, and I shall grant thy's wish."
Oh, blue body of wishes, whose home is near the lake of blish.
"Mine daughter small, frail and weak, wishes to see you, in Mineek,
Where the quillalilas grow, she gathers, please visit her."
The Wishalur nods its twashlon head, and I set it free up ahead.
Mine daughter, your wish will be granted, so please enchant it.
The Wishalur finds the Tinro daughter, who was not small at all.
Rosen lips, raveneé hair, farin skin, twas a lonely maiden of Tinro kin.
The lonely maid cries softly with blissen tears
While the Wishalur approaches without fear,
And sings its song;
"Ber Swandalin fawn, and Swandalar mower,
Quillalilas are Wishalur's favorite flower."
The maid listens without a cower.
She wishes for a friend, so the Wishalur pretends,
But in the end, he found a true friend.
A time they spend and truly they blend,
And the Wishalur's heart cannot mend
Without his sweetheart, who understands.
So he becomes a human man, for her alone,
As they wed underneath the quillalilas throne.
