PortmantailureA Poem by JNWMy take on the Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll, but with a twist about masculinity.
'Twas quite a sight, a lumph dee dee
Wid Jabberwocky’s neck cut clean All creatures came guhsnorbling back Snicker-snacking on their snacks. "You slain the beast our human friend the 'wocky’s reign of terror end.” The Jub Jub bird, that blatherskeet lumooked around the wocky’s feet. And bandersnatch with teeth protruding came hummaging by, rudely intruding He took one look at 'wocky’s head And hummaged back in discontent. I proud I was to be whangbasten Father now no longer make fun, (of me) or manly fixtures present a hunter now, no more a peasant My ma all a griffle when I come back “you broke my precious sword, snicker-snack.” She snapped and snorfled and shout at me Then she calm as calm can be “My boy you’re fiery like ya dada, you ain’t as blessed but that don’t matta. He cannot swing a vorpal right but blessed are you with huntsman’s fight.” And now a wench, they make me seek one with balumphas and rosy cheeks, as fair as Arthur’s Guinevere a femme to niznoozle who’ll never sneer. © 2011 JNW |
