A New Word Whizzed By - Nonsense Contest

A new word whizzed by
  just under me nose
It tickled me moustache-hairs
  and teased me toes

Amused and amazed
  I sputtered alive
but that whizzy new word
  bzzzz'ed back to its hive

So I took out me air-horn
  which gave me a shiver ~
Put me moustache-hairs
  and me toes back in me quiver

Great entry, Gershon. Another one that when I read it a second time it made me LOL. Witty and fun to read. Congratulations on your placement. Hope all is well... ~CM

Hello Gershon ... all these light hearted nonsense rhymes are great because they give us a break from thinking about covid, wars, and politics, so thanks for joining in Gershon - Lindsay

A cute, clever one, Gershon. Good luck in the contest. Reading these poems has been so much fun. I'm glad I'm not Charles!

You are right about all the entries in this contest, Milt. They are sooooo good, except mine which is pretty pedestrian, I know... I just thought I'd fill up another spot in the contest, so Charlie could get the results out faster... At any rate, thanks again and again for all of the support. Happy Thursday evening, Gershon
