I Came Across A JumpherA Poem by Wayne RileyI came across a Jumpher A jumphin’ up at me. It wasn’t very springy As far as i could see.
It tried to do someothersault, Impressing like a tree, But landed with a thumping thud And hurt his only knee.
‘How come you like to ravel so?’ I bellied like a navel, While on the other hand i plied Some custard on a table.
‘I’m only giving all I’ve got- A hundred miles an hour. But if you take it at a trot It soaks you with a shower.
‘I see,’ i said, came out my head, And nodding fully clothed, I asked if he’d seen Ninnynook? A nose that knows no prose.
‘I likes to smell his gravy soup.’ He jumphered like a sweater, Then driving like a five wheeled horse Left home wrapped in a letter.
‘Good luck, you leaphing lunging loon.’ I mouthed in Granny’s gums Then smiling like a holiday I went to see my chums. © 2014 Wayne Riley |
