The Fall of the Onomatopoeian Empire

The Fall of the Onomatopoeian Empire By Elton Camp Onomatopoeia is a literary device Appeal to the senses is quite nice The comics often show us how By using biff and bang and pow The telephone loudly does ring The cash register goes ca-ching Mary’s heels clacked on the floor Cook clanged the pans some more The castle’s defenders were unarmed Onomatopoeia no attacker alarmed Behind the ramparts they did hide Pow, boom and bang they cried It was promptly overrun anyway Despite scary words they did say The conquest that was being sought Easy, as weapons they had naught
