A Dose of Nonsense

On By Veera

Hey all! I’m back with my first poem of complete nonsense, which consists of twenty lines loaded with nonsense,the rhyme scheme being similar to that of four limericks( a-a-b-b-a-c-c-d-d-c-e-e-f-f-e-g-g-h-h-g). Enjoy!

A dull declecious druggie
Asked a polliavon for purified blubbie;
Got shapsnack whiter than pearls,
Howled,” You pair of baboons’ bearls;
I don’t wanna end up tubby!
Chopsnashoc! I’ll wackspit your heads
I want my daily bread!”
Replied a frightened flacspurtan;
“Stop being a suxoccious shooshan;
Eat what ye get, redhead!”
Arrived an alcoholic officer,
Asked the polliavon for warm beer,
Replied,flabbergasted, “Jehoshapat!
People these days,they just jackelflat;
Asking druggies to deal firewater!”
The officer shivvied once,
Produced a badge and guns;
“You’re under arrest,for befooling;
Ye bunch of bloppy boolings!”
While drawin’ on crickgar burns!

P.S: This is as nonsensical as I could go, and well, I’m quite sure it looks like total nonsense,so…I’m sorry! 😅 I guess I can’t make nonsense sound sensible after all.

P.P.S: This has been penned for DVerse, where poets were asked to write nonsensical poems with the following rules:

1. In the style we are doing we are still telling a story. It is clearly narrative and not gibberish.

2. The characters and their actions may seem absurd or playful, but what they do make sense in a nonsense way.

3. It is fine to use invented words, but it should be clear from the concept if they are creatures, things, or even verbs.
