Joyce Johnson Poet Light Verse

Nimbeltockie and Ragamoo

The Nimbeltockie sag a poo.
Long before the Ragamoo
Brake the rapon names a loo.
Barred the Lala Sot.  Would you?

Came the hora Ratterscamps
Running through the flinterdamps,
Chasing Nimbeltockie folks.
Magling pashatasing jokes.

Gone the Nimbletockie potters
Outed by Ratterscamps, the squatters.
Feasted on by Ragamoo
And a Lala Sot or two.

Then a Nimbeltockie hero
Fanned the fropper, unlike Nero.
Rammed the wooden loli-dagger
Into Ratterscamps with swagger.

Sang the old, old song of Poo
Perhaps you’d like to sing it too.
Nimbeltockie and Ragamoo
Twaggled in the twain.  Would you? 

The Nimbeltockie sag a poo
Long before the Ragamoo
Brake the rapon names a loo.
Barred the Lala Sot. Would you?

Zzzzz Zzzzz June 20, 2011 at 2:56 AM I was intrigued by the title. This poem is very "Jabberwocky-esque." Nonsense can be poetic! I guess this is for a contest? Regards, Robert.

Carolyn Devonshire June 19, 2011 at 1:05 PM Very cool satire on Jabberwocky, Joyce. Deb is going to love this one! Great rhyme, meter and very clever new words coined. Way to go, dear. I could not find any inspiration for this contest, but did try. The poems were just to embarrassing to post. Hope to see you at the top! Love, Carolyn

Andrea Dietrich June 18, 2011 at 6:37 PM HAHAHA, a nonsense poem that actually had consistency with repeating lines. so is this for the Alice in Wonderfuland contest? It reminds me a bit of my Jabborwacky poem. That's sweet of you to tell me that you wait for the comments last with me, Joyce.

Dr.Ram Mehta June 18, 2011 at 6:21 PM Though intriguing and awesome, I enjoyed the rhyme and rhythm, Joyce
