Another Nonsensical Tale

"Balls!" said the umpires "Strike!" yelled the pins "Take that!" cried the little girl who kicked both my shins And when the green penguin started dancing a jig I realized it was high time to buy a new wig So I hopped on my pogo stick and headed to town Took me two weeks to get there bouncing up and down But the town was abandoned Oh no, not again! And that's when I spotted a large rabid hen It was foaming at the beak when it then spotted me so I bounded and hopped up the side of a tree Then the tree said "gesundheit" though no one had sneezed and the squirrel with his nuts seemed mightily pleased Saw a midget run by looking like Ben Gazzara and over his shoulder was Maureen O'Hara Then I sprang from the tree and pogo'd back home where I wasn't quite sure how to wrap up this poem So I stole a line here and borrowed a line there nobody will read it 'cause nobody cares And that ends the story you can sigh in relief Every bit of it's true if you suspend disbelief © Mike Wise 7-5-24
