John John loved my “Brickles and Beturds”
Finally I'm officially a champion of words
It's made me giggly
This honour so scriggly
Was thinking of retiring but I'm driven by scerdes
Poets are classified as a very strange lot
Use fancy words like “gigglebuster” and “besquat”
They make up words
Like brickles and beturds
No accounting for this strange lingo they adopt
