Jumboism

ABC WEDNESDAY

JUMBOISM

If you've a predilection,

Or lean in that direction,

To anything that's really, really large;

If you like the largest slices,

Or you pay the hugest prices,

Then you are jumboistic! That's my charge.

If your dog is huge and shaggy

And your pants are large and baggy,

And your car wont fit in any small garage

And your hamburger's gigantic

And small helpings drive you frantic,

Then you are jumboistic! That's my charge.

If you think to reach the ceiling

Is something quite appealing

And your paddle-boat resembles a great barge.

If your every thingamajig

Is big, big BIG

Then you are jumboistic! That's my charge.

OUBLIETTE

(An Acrostic)

Open only at the top!

Up above see the awful drop!

Beneath lies death without a doubt!

Let no-one try to get you out!

If you crash on rocks and stones

Ending -up with broken bones

Truly no-one will bring you aid.

There you'll lie till memories fade!

Eternity will find you yet

Imprisoned in the oubliette.
