WOBBLING WUMP OF WIGGLY TOWN

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh, look! The Wump wears polka-dot socks. 
It tap-dances swirls on peppermint rocks!  
Its belly jiggles like jelly on spoons,  
While whistling loony, balloon-tune croons.  

One foot hops east, the other foot west,  
It juggles twelve pies (but drops all the rest).  
The townsfolk giggle, the lampposts sway,  
As the Wump cartwheels over the Milky Way.  

With a flibbertigibbet and zoodle-zoo,  
It winks—then gets stuck on sparkly glittery superglue!
