The Fall of the Onomatopoeian Empire
The Fall of the Onomatopoeian Empire
By Elton Camp
Onomatopoeia is a literary device
Appeal to the senses is quite nice
The comics often show us how
By using biff and bang and pow
The telephone loudly does ring
The cash register goes ca-ching
Mary’s heels clacked on the floor
Cook clanged the pans some more
The castle’s defenders were unarmed
Onomatopoeia no attacker alarmed
Behind the ramparts they did hide
Pow, boom and bang they cried
It was promptly overrun anyway
Despite scary words they did say
The conquest that was being sought
Easy, as weapons they had naught
