A Silly Song For Mookie

See the old Drimbles dressed in buckles and bells, whispering whim-chills and come-set-a-spells while yucca pots witcher and watcher their wares over tea cups and quarrels with gold sunset stares. Oh, happy the long-beam that scatters with flee the shadows of nightfall for you, and for me. Who cottons our candy and fluffs stuff around while making much noise without any sound? Is it......I? Is it...he? Is it you? Is it she? Or is it cautious fair-winders set sail on high seas, who whistle humdingers while eating their peas? All dandy long whiskers will chuckle and shout: “IT’S ALL-OVER-UNDER!” and, “FAIR TURN-ABOUT!” So gather your lucky every-way days, tame all your turnips and go on your ways to the land of old Drimbles dressed in buckles and bells who chase off the spookles and hand out all’s-wells.

    Mookie has a very clever grandfather. What a special gift to give your granddaughter. Thanks for sharing this with your readers.

    I had to check this one out because I thought you would be writing something about former Mets outfielder Mookie Wilson. After reading this, I see that is not the case. This is a delightful light read with great rhyming.

    What are Drimbles and why are they dressed in buckles and bells? I found the poem intriguing and enjoyed the flow and mood it created.

    totally nonsense, just sing-songing for the grandaughter before she even knew what words were.

    Me thinks I hear some Edward Lear, while I dance by the light of the moon, the moon;) Sounds like a classic to me-very charming as Ilene commented. More children should meet Drimbles in their dreams.....
