The Squigglehawk Ball

I had the craziest time at the Squigglehawk ball all the Frazzlefairies were bouncing off the wall, Jellyfunts were swinging their enormous trunks as they boogied away with pongalicious skunks Young Squigglehawks gyrated in the balmy air wearing pink tutus but their fannies were bare Their antics created a humderendous kerfuffle Pa panwongled them all with his wangabuffle! When their Ma vamished some rainbow gowns the youngsters claimed they looked like clowns But they adored their lush spinklerly violet wings and pogo-loged as if their legs were on springs Ma Squigglehawk put on a spingle spangle spread with chumley corn spears and warm glitterpuff bread Pa Squigglehawk had brewed some honeydew wine it sparkled like silver moondust and tasted so divine! I flange wanged in the arms of a fit frazzlefairy but we had to part when the bong went hairy The next Squigglehawk ball is Saturday at eight I can’t wait to wange with my frazzlefairy date Craziest Time At The Poetry Contest Choice 1: Craziest Time At .......
