MEANA THE WEEVIL ITCH

In deepest hyper space, in the land of Zog,
lives a weevil itch who resides in a bog
At birth she'd been Zogletised as Gina,
but the Elders secretly call her Meana!

Meana is renown for making vile smells,
on reflection, perhaps I mean evil spells!
Inhabitants of Zog are scared of Meana,
her skin is purple whilst theirs looks greener

She casts her smells on anyone who comes near,
and all the green Zogalite children live in fear
Don’t go near that weevil itch they are told,
but one foolhardy Zogkid thought he'd be bold

Sneaking supilently right up to her front door,
he pushes the dong-bong, and out shot a claw.
Meana snatches him into her murky lair,
and ties him up with matted mouse tail hair!

Meana opens the door of a bone strewn pen,
tossing Ferdie inside with her three legged hen
The Zogkid’s zogilaified when the hen clucks,
but Meana’s paw claws the air,  so Ferdie ducks! 

Ferdie tickles the mice tails till they lose their grip,
and free from restraints he gives vile Meana the slip.
Wriggling down a worm hole Ferdie drinks in Zogo air,
and finds his dad Spoona zending beside Meana’s lair.

Spoona’s gomblefied Ferdie ventured near the weevil itch,
but he helps Ferdie build a Zogolite force field and ditch
It surrounds Meana’s lair so she can't ever break free
so finally there's a happy ending to this wow me story!

NB *Spoona chosen for the name as the poem contains several spoonerisms

I'd seen a 'comedy wordsmith' the night before I wrote this poem and he used a lot of spoonerisms. I woke with the words weevil itch in my mind (it wasn't a phrase he'd used) and scribbled it down and then wove a silly story around those words:-) hugs Jan xx
