Amphigory

sorenbarrett

A selfish shellfish

Nit-picked on a picnic

With an armadillo from Amarillo

While the style of a

smile on a crocodile

Lasted a while

A cotton picke'n chicken

fingers prick'n, sun stricken

kneeled in the field

no sun shield, its skin peeled

      The preposterous rhinoceros with something stuck in her oesophagus, retching which disgusted us.

            I didn’t even know there was a word for describing specifically a “non-sense” composition. AMPHIGORY. I swear the English dictionary is phenomenal with some of the words you will find. This wasn’t non-sense. It was a journey through the mind!
