Can the Meadowlark, Lark

For William and Laura Nance if the jabberwocky were a clock would it talk in jabberese or simply be right twice a day in order to sometimes please what if ants were big as horses and horses could take to wing would the meadowlark, lark or perhaps the songbird sing if the songbird did decide to sing would it be bass or baritone oh, yeah, the hoity toity thing likely to sing and dance alone if the bull horn bellowed long and the fog horn fumed a cloud would the dog bane bite and the Johnnies jump up before a crowd would your blankie snuggle close when the wookie is on the bed and fly you back to never land on pixie dust coated gingerbread I intentionally left caps and punc out of the poem for a more child like effect. © Jun 8 2011 Charles Henderson For Deb's "Go Ask Alice" contest
