Glimitz!
According to your order - pronounce,
I weigh less than an ounce.
As gratchens flame and fly, to my disdain,
I wonder, have you got a light?

A conference call,
a violin,
a gently rappling, nightly nappling, finger poppling, ripe penguin,
all of them, on ice,
or would slipslod them on rice?

Catch a tory,
a chicken allegory,
seizing up, all oblong,
I don't belong,
I am more a scroodle square - don't glare.

Chattanooga,
What's it to ya?
Blampart on rye -
as I sit and sigh,
a bicycle goes by.

Oglethorpe in greeches,
idly ironing breeches;
say aloud:
I'm not unproud.
Morebly, I am constitutional.

Cribble, Crabble, my friend Jasper,
grasshoppers of alabaster,
frogs from South Chicago,
a ballpark frank for Joe,
did I stub my finger?

...or my stomach?

Saskatoony
on the half shell,
Pinkerton gets all wet.
Could I ever master
Vogon without regret?

Hmmn... I've been glancing at a few of these. Congratulations! Vogon must be every writer's dream. I don't have to make excuses for nonsense words anymore.

Thanks Crystol, it funny, trying to write the universes third worst poetry, and also, at other times, trying to write good poetry. I hope my attempts at the good stuff are better than my attempts at bad stuff - lol.
