a nun she ate the fun she ate, Binty Moffle, Clear as conkers, doodle de doo, Edward might have leered once or twice, For sitting on swings and going all weeee, fun da mental fun, Minty Boffle, Poetry, sense to some, They pitched up a coodle and had a stout plank, Wordplay
I came across this a couple of weeks back and loved it so much it stuck with me enough to insist on a replay up here — raps on her skull with knuckles — that has led to the rarest of rarities . . . a reblog upon the Cloud! Excellent wordplay — enjoy. The original page can be found by clicking on the title of the poem.
ps – The name of the author alone deserves a medal of some kind.
The roughage grows dark – by Minty Boffle
Once it may have been true to a point,
That the roughage was rough and the flample was goint,
But when looked down on it’s true that you see,
The flample was pample and goadingly droit
It once looked quite pretty when viewed in the dark,
The roughage, the pample, hung out in the park,
For sitting on swings and going all weeee,
But the droit came upon them and cut them a’grark
The pample did stample and the roughage did yank,
And across the sandpit the pair they did sank,
To rid them both ever of the nether-seen droit,
They pitched up a coodle and had a stout plank
But the roughage not covered beneath the pitch coodle,
Was exposed to the droit right on to his noodle,
And the pample did peek out a safe word to utter,
But the roughage was lost with it’s memory a doodle
Great piece!

Perfect nonsense, Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) would have been proud of it. As a phlyarologist-in-training myself, I thank you for this introduction to this piece!

Thanks Jim, glad you enjoyed it.
I haven’t forgotten, things are just a tad manic at present. Bear with.

Very good indeed, but it doesn’t remind me of a Leonid Afremov painting like your work often does.

Taking a moment to rifle through pill box for approximately coded mind expanding substances to gain insight to above, then remembering the 70’s are long past and we don’t do that any more, not that we admit to ever doing to begin with, thinking that Monkey Broth is a fine name on a parallel with Wavy Gravy then remembering the Grateful Dead are no more, realizing , daughter, that I have aged some, surviving the generations and still looking forward while remembering playing Parcheesi with Pretty Pretty all hours of the night, or something to that effect. To conclude, a fine piece that takes me back some to a time when imaginations ruled and a good day was judged by something beyond ‘Praise the Lord, I woke up to another day. In short, I enjoyed this muchly and it reminded me of a time when we judged how good by how much nonsense we might create. 🙈🙉🙊🚻☯️

Time for a new, mint-scented dictionary; nevertheless, the realization is a perfect segue to a related matter: my bomb shelter. There’s room for a small library, so only my absolute favorites, such as 50 Shades of Blather, will make the cut. The complete works of Shakespeare will be reduced to a thumb drive, which is handy, but without the electricity to power a device to read the thing, it will occupy a teeny-tiny amount of space simply out of respect for the Elizabethan master.
Naturally I will make sandwiches and brew several cups of coffee, which I don’t mind cold. I hear that radioactive dust is as pretty as the first winter snowfall. I’m so looking forward to seeing the trees sprinkled with the pollen of disaster.
Think of me always, Esme, as I will think of you barricaded behind these walls of lead. I may from time to time be able to get a message to you by way of charred homing pigeon, so do look out for that. Kisses.

Prospero!!!!! – over-excitement leads to flagrance of exclamation marks, but not a jot does she care
Everything about your words shows why I have missed you so dear Prospero. Having you visit has brightened my day and indeed my week if not more, perhaps a month, who knows? The Cloud knows but won’t say, however, it matters not for every second of brightness shall be cherished and then crammed into a can of tomatoes that is secretly a small safe and has no tomatoes in it just happiness. And happiness in a tin is a great gift indeed, so thank you bestest of wizzes and holder of thumbs. I’ll have all the kisses too for one should never waste a kiss, mayhaps I’ll make a wee wet bracelet out of them and as it squelches I shall always think you, far away behind leaded lead.
