Best Galumphing Poems


Premium Member Jabberwacky
I know a scamp who chortles frabjously
as in the springtime galumphing he goes.
And just to show how wacky he can be,
he makes his tongue point up to touch his nose!

He has no wicked claws or eyes with flame
to match those of the manxome Jabberwock.
But just...

See Spot Run
Oh, a mangy little doggie went galumphing down the street
And as his luck would have it he just happened there to meet
A warden with a wagon and a heavy-duty net
And he nabbed the rabid mongrel and he took him to the vet....

Timendi causa est nescire (Ignorance is the cause of fear).
– Seneca


About two thousand years ago,
when Quintilianus said it
(at least, that’s who gets the credit),
his paradigm was apropos:
the words “Vestis Virum Reddit.”

Garbed in leather, silks, and cotton,
emperors took his words to heart
(at least, they tried to...

Hurry Not, Worry Not
Hurry not, tarry not, worry not
For life yours to live, yours to squander
If you slot the wrong plot
Swimming with a groggy gander 

To plunder the best resources life offers
In the best years you enjoy
Banking and investing in companionship coffers
Bereft of joy

Too little to warrant any...

Knees of Enemies of Progress
Teeming and brimming with green bile
Enemies of progress plot from an evil thought
The downfall from a high wall isle
Against a progress protagonist caught

Up in an intrigue driven in seas of darkness
So black they defy illumination as foes hack
Into progress folders, files and systems whose thickness
Grows...

He said that it was brillig, but what did that word mean
And slithy is a word that I had never seen
If you gyre and gimble, what do you really do
I guess when in the wabe, you seek the meaning too.

Lewis was a master of words...

The Boys In the Back
The Boys in The Back
By Sy Roth

The right hand turned the waters 360 degrees
Then another willful rotation
Until the bubbling chicken-fatty waters splashed over the sides
While the boys in the back did their algebraic calculations
Considering the enigma of a minus two yellow eggs 
Then jouncing on...

Two Besotted Beggars In Our Lives
Prejudice and malice
Both besotted beggars
Gamboling, galumphing, griping and gripping a solstice
In limpid lives whose tigers and daggers

Stagger, simulate and strut along
Craven
Oblong, wrong on a song gong
Sloven and driven

Unexpectedly pop up in interpersonal interactions
Writhing like serpents
Wreaking heady havoc in their insurrections
Contents, events, proponents and deponents 

To...

C'Est Moi
In my childhood
they 
impressed on me
not to galumph,
lest I be typed
in stereo
as my eternal twin,

and yet, 
somehow it pleases me
to see that you 
are now
constrained to know
that I will go
galumphing off
into the nevermore. 
           ...

Gangly Ghosts
Gangly ghosts galumphing in our lives 
Gamble
With outstretched knives and chives
Fumble and mumble

Encouraging us crates of lager to quaff and drink
Tomes of *********** for our eyes to dabble
Contaminated thoughts for us to think and slink
Trouble and rabble to double in the stable

Life we feed, mislead,...

Company safeguarding
Company sheltering
Sheltering enemies

Fidgeting nervously
Fidgeting worriedly

Progeny procreate

Procreate thoughtlessly
Procreate heartlessly
Heartlessly sickening
Heartlessly hideous

Body Whispering
Do you gurgle, grunt, and gripe,
grind the soft bones of thought dry?

You need some orchestration,
some instrumental tuning.
Play with those ad hoc glottalized vibes,
harmonize.

The body, that geomungos collection
of agrarian earth animalcules
which work for themselves alone,
tilling mud, repairing dykes
& ditches,
that biological chain gang
that works on robotically
within a...
