Shinozaki Elementary School in TOKYO
SUNDAY SCRIBBLINGS
suggests the theme 'LANGUAGE' .
I've always wanted to write a nonsense rhyme because language becomes acrobatic in such a poem.
So here goes!
THE GRIZZLED SPRID
The Grizzled Sprid
Did what he did,
And did it very well.
He chumfed his splang
And when it rang
He didn't like the smell.
'Oh wugdydoo!
It's in the stew!'
The Sprid was heard to cry.
'I'll use a flout
To get it out
And hang it up to dry.'
When it had smiffed
The Sprid was miffed
For it no longer fitted.
His trangles splayed
Though it was made
By Auntie Flub, who knitted.
The Grizzled Sprid
Then went and hid
Because he felt denuded.
'I'll crog my eye
Until I die
And I hope you all get snooded!'
'Oh Grizzled Sprid
Here is a scrid
To make you feel much better!'
He put it on
And then was gone
As fast as a squinching spletter!

Very enjoyable. I'm looking forward to your essay on Spridology :-)
Brenda, you are the second Dr. Seuss. I love that nonsense rhyme as it's so much fun to read out loud. It sings.
this is wonderful! It needs illustrations!!
oh, I LOVE it! You're giving Lewis Carroll a run for his money!
How delightful!
How very entertaining! Great rhyme! I'm so glad i came across your blog :)
I reeeeaaallly like this. You should keep up the nonsense rhymes. You're good!
What fun! My hat's off to the Sprid and your very creative soul.
It had me giggling!
I sure hope you do more of these. This is outstanding. Needs a book and illustrations.
Ha, this is great! Along the lines of your dear Lewis Carroll and “Jabberwocky”, one of my all-time favorites! ‘Twas brilling, this use of language, Ms. Rimes! Callooh, callay, I whifflingly say!
Was such a change..
from reading the usual 'sense' rhymes
