The Tale of Millywog

Silly nonsense for a contest.

 

 

Millywog, the tressle-sweeps

Did hang lilies along the railing

The linger-pollen did tickle her weeps

And make her nissle go off wailing.

 

Millywog, ho, up and begiggled

Did tend to all the green belly-flogs

Who hung about the graveyard dehangled

Thinking they would breath the lily-smogs.

 

Not wanting to sneeze or nissle-drip

The bellyflogs greyer did whisle

'til dehangled they were dipped

And to the mayor they jumped above thisle

Sadly, after the chamber-lads Millywog dribbled.

Author's Note

Try to smile at the nonsense.

Love this. Hello you... I've been dipping in and out and it's so good to read your stuff again. This is my favourite of the evening, oh yes. I've read it aloud and each time I say 'til instead of Until because it takes out a beat but having said that I think this would be a sure fire winner in the right contest anywhere Mimi - I love it.

No need to "try" to smile, it just happend. Good job though a bit of a toungue twister at times. Fun read, thanks for the smile. ;)

This somewhat reminded me of "Phizzog" by Carl Sandburge very delicious piece of nonsense indeed.

This was fantastically insane. I love it. Think you should do more with it. Has an old world fairy tale quality to it. Kudos.
