Nonsensical Poems

The Pig of Pook

The pig of pook below the stook went marching in the hay,
For pig of pook the only stook loved the month of May.
Went Harry Stake the raven bake came worriedly on a whim
What light he saw, the day was raw upon his headed brim.
Stad the Snarl will have a barrel shouted Carben through the nort
See, Stad the Snarl upon a barrel was a very even sort.

Hargnargahar

Hargnargahar was a feldaderhar even through the night
Never was there a peldardarhar that put up such a fight
The Narderhar and Ned Maldahar could not match his might
So Hargnargahar the Feldaderhar continued on his flight.

Quality Seat

Quality seat, quality seat shout it loudly in the street,
Quality seat, the type from Crete, I can arrange for you to meet
Quality seat with the soft beneath, sit upon't while you eat
But what to eat when on the seat? Might I suggest a mug of wheat?

A Sneeze to Please

The nightmans pipe with shadowed flipe within the moonlights gaze
When hat and cape beneath the flape then comes a misty haze
Wollupe the group and stoop for soup when night time turns to freeze
Many miles of moonlight later he is overdue a sneeze.
A sneeze to please the Sturkaneze who bet upon his nose
A bookies on his eyebrows the receipts come from his toes.

Completely artichoke

Seriously milliganeque with a nice rhythm

Cheers Sooty. They just started filtering into my head all day yesterday so I had to write some down.

There were a few more that came to me late last night that I might go back to. One about a lake turning to bubbles and another about a man called Gooseman Green whose town turned upside down.

Those are fantastic Otterfox, right up my street.

Really enjoyed those! beautifully rhythmic syntax.

This is like a line from Finnegans Wake!

I think the Seat is my favourite, it has just enough grounding in sanity to make it entertaining. Lots of fun.

May I make a litle suggestion? "Many miles of moonlight later he is overdue a sneeze" doesn't really scan. You could try something like, "Ere miles and miles of moonlit whiles, he's overdue a sneeze".

Why not have a go at sensical poems too Otterfox, make it a tasty cake as well as a pretty one?
:)

Thanks for all the feedback and suggestions fellas. Much appreciated. Mark P are we still talking about rhymes or do you want me to bake you a cake? ;)
