Best Mumbo Jumbo Poems
MUMBO-JUMBO
It is a hog-wash
My cube is my space
My space is colorless
Only if I am emotionless
Our jungle was mumbo
Murmuring the word Jumbo
It is a state of nonsense that makes sense
Collectively we strike like an orange mind
Working as if there is no box
For we refuse to think out of the box
When am moody ...
I became shy off my shine
I am on a cruise to my space
Shilling like there is no morrow
Creating a disruptive space was emotive
But we did it like a snap of finger away
Unknowingly ... we are turning vampires
Gradually ... our color fading away from red
Seamlessly ... our blood turning orange

At Orange Academy, in a class where disruption reigns supreme, it was Mumbo-Jumbo.
Captain Mumblebury
He is no dumbo
A UFO pilot from
The planet Mumbo
A little known planet
Shaped like a spoon
Just turn left
When you get to the moon
Mumblebury is
The captain of cool
In his UFO ship
Taking children to school
World famous he is
On the planet Mumbo
Though he actually lives
On its moon, Jumbo
With his loyal pet
Who actually speaks
A fish out of water
Known as Gillcheeks
A fish out of water,
How does he survive?
A goldfish bowl on his head
Keeps him alive
Is this story true?
I don’t really know
It could all be just
A load of mumbo jumbo
It’s mumbo jumbo,
the language of confusion.
Nonsensical words
that communicate nothing.
They have no value at all.
A wino looked at me and spout,
Mumbo-jumbo from his mouth!
“Wood and stone;
Flesh and bone,
Sand and clay;
Steel and hay,
Moon and sun;
Milk and bun,
Glass and salt;
Hops and malt,
Needle and thread;
Hand and head,
Rain and fog;
Spawn and frog,
Chicken and egg;
Lock and peg,
Tooth and root;
Sock and boot,
Buckle and belt,
Beaver and pelt,
Ash and soot;
Loud and mute,
Sea and beach;
Apple and peach,
Nut and bolt;
Collar and goat,
Dime and purse;
Favour and curse,
Hard and soft;
Never and oft,
Fun and pun;
Over and begun,
Love and hate;
Pace and rate,
Good and bad;
Happy and sad.”
Down and out;
Kneeling there devout!
Yours truly an unfortunate hostage

and albeit impossible mission) to free me,
where within human bondage I stew
more specifically mine personally
custom designed invisible prison self made,
thus wishing to don persona
of such an éminence grise
as Jawaharlal Nehru,
and trumpet courteous helloo
before bidding kith and kin
and fellow humans permanent adieu.

Come play mumbo jumbo mumblety peg,
To see who goes first, we spin a raw egg.
Come be a sport.
Free beer by the quart.
We’ll let you keep a finger and maybe a leg.
