Blabberwocky

WriteBeLight

My poem was written,

But, was dropped on the desk.

And, became a big jumbled,

Unbelievable mess.

 

I tried hard to fix it,

But an endless loop.

A pile of word babble,

And, alphabet soup.

 

Lasagna and hot dogs,

On shiny clean dishes,

Try high octane whipo,

On potatoes with whiskers.

 

Cyber space scene,

In my cup of Earl Tea,

Brush the hair of an anteater,

Or, shave a dog’s flea.

 

Turkeys in tuxedos,

Oliver and the gruel,

In a flattened pontoon,

Float on a carpool.

 

A dare-devil peacock,

Turns around on a dime.

For a chicken wing side dish,

With ice cream, just fine.

 

Jammed paper jelly,

Leaves a dull paper cut.

Tail wags the kite,

The kite wags the pup.

 

The receptionist smiles,

At the peon with clout.

Baby walks in smiling,

Throws the bathwater out.

 

Palm trees and snowballs,

In Beta Fish tank.

Play hands-on football,

Food scraps then flank.

 

In the end, I can’t find,

The meaning at last.

A poem for the shredder,

And, dreadful first draft.

          Thanks so much WW! Gotta keep the sense of humor, and try to look at the bright side or else all is lost..:) I do get a kick of out that Beck song. In particular, his Bozo Nightmare line. It makes perfect sense for a lot of what is going on in the world, unfortunately, today.

                Ha Ha. Your comment took a lot of work, and I appreciate it! I did reference the Jabberwocky, Lewis Carroll info. And, when I was a kid, we had a Sunday morning Jabberwocky show on local TV. It is a great word, but I wanted to put my own spin after having heard that Beck song for years on the Radio. And, I like prunes too! Thanks for commenting my Dear Brian!

                This poem is great!! I can't pick which line I like best. Genius though! Great work! Christina

                • WriteBeLight

                  Thanks Christina. As I mention in the comment, was driving to work yesterday morning and thought I needed to do a proper poem after listening to the Beck song. I just love his Bozo Nightmare line in the song! Thanks again for your very kind comment...:)

                  Sooooo clever or was it an excuse for being unable to come up with a sensical rhyme over nonsense? Heh, heh. Actually that was probably more difficult. This was so much fun.

                  • WriteBeLight

                    Yes, a little more trouble to write, because as I went on jotting stuff down, I realized I could use contradiction, etc. in each four lines. But, in the end, it just was supposed to not have any connection to anything. And, you are very witty in your comment. Thanks!
