My Hovercraft Is Full of Eels

I'll try to tell you without my usual cant that all I wanted was to go sailing with Sherry Saturday morning but I can't! My hovercraft is full of eels! The watchman phoned when I was lying in bed to notify me of this. I was shocked to find he wasn't lying! My hovercraft is full of eels! My good-will has been weakened because of this horrid event which completely ruined my weekend. My hovercraft is full of eels! These morbid creatures are serious party-poopers. Remember!: Their electricity is deleterious. My hovercraft is full of eels! My beloved Birthday present invaded by these heinous monsters! I will have to buy a new one 'cause to this one I must say bye! My hovercraft is full of eels! Ghastly! You don't know how this feels! My hovercraft is full of eels!

Ivo, you impressed me again with a tug of war between biting humor and really cool poetic execution. I can just imagine the horror that occurred in your hovercraft. How'd they get in there in the first place? :O

Dear Ivo, This is one of the most creative and humorous poems I've ever read. Caught an eel once and he didn't bother me, so send your invaded hovercraft my way. So witty! Love, Carolyn

IVo, I just figured out who you remind me of. A Dr. Seuss for adults!! You are so fun with your style. Really liked this one.

Random, but clever, duuuude. Awesome job and keep up the excellent, poetic, genius work. Creative and nicely written out. Indeed, I enjoyed this one. Have a brilliant end of the week and unwind on the weekend, despite the loss of your b-day present. Love the repetition btw (by the way). -DWB

about your poem: ha I wish I knew what a Hovercraft is... Maybe it's a boat, cause why else would they be eels in it. Sad it happened to your birthday present. Love Linda
