Old Bazzam - The Gallu-Gallu Ghost
begroan the ghoul who floots the floor
it sidles wodely rombles
and seen by some who vallacate
the hotel rooms it froodles
midnight is the time they say
the gallu-gallu grumbles
shrumbling in the corridors
and shrooning down the stairalls
intriguers flock from far and foyle
to witness Old Bazzam
and stay a night at their behowl
to see the ghoul then scram

Something Oddly Familiar About This Nonsense
“Abe, easy Dee, effigy, eight chives, Jake, ale, Em,
any hope, peak you, arrest a ewe, feed other ewe”
ex-wife said
she certainly SPELT it out!
he then went on to reCOUNT
“When, too, furry forks, fave socks sieving, eat known tin”
and there was something oddly familiar about it all
when ex-husband and ...

The Bug Chronicles - A Field Guide To Creepy Crawlies
the spider
he, with cotton in his bottom
for the silken manufacture
dressing flies he likes to capture
in the evening wear for dinner
oh the spider, what a spinner
the wasp
he, with a pin for a sting
and the flailing arms he causes
people run like wild horses
from their summer barbecues
oh the wasp, such afternoons
the ant
he, having friends in the thousands
how the picnic blanke...

The Ravenous Witch
the ravenous witch
famished with greed
tummied and toothed
in scoops could she eat
pickles and pockles
and piggy trough trays
gorging, gullooging
and munching for days
she went picking parcels
and morsels of stuff
jiggleberries, hockleberries
but never enough
apples and hopples
pebbles and pears
the horribliest fruit
even one covered in h...

Gulp! What Did You Swallow?
gulp!
ahurr ahurr ahurr
“I swallowed a cricketer”
he shouted with a cough
but, we asked, in a joking scoff
“do you not mean a cricket?”
then to our amazement
and in the very next minute
he regurgitated a bat!
which promptly flew back to its cave
and that, it seems, was that

At At
there is a place at at at
it is by by by
which is near near near
not too far from from from
you can get there via via via
and to be honest it is nice to stay at at at
it’s up to you really
but if you do stay at at at
you might visit visit visit
from there go to to to
then, if time, see see see
not so scenic as as as
reminded me of of of
but again it’s up...

The Parrot Cooked A Dinner
the parrot cooked a dinner
the dinner he cooked was a carrot
when the swan burst into song
and the thrush told him to hush
the starling asked for more food
more food he asked for starving
when the owl then sang out loud
and the crow told him to go
so a meal of interruption
ruined this fine carrot luncheon
then all was quiet, nothing heard

The Donkey Set The Table
the donkey set the table
but the table set was wonky
when the crane brought the game
and the mice brought the dice
the horses cooked the food
and the food they cooked in courses
the deer brought the beer
and the koala brought the cola
so an evening full of fun
promised fun for all the evening
then the tiger turned up later
but unfortunately...

The Jingly Jib
you know he’s a Jib
the way you can tell
he jingles and jingles
like a jingly bell
but sometimes their jingle
mysteriously goes
then Jibs cry all day
and why, nobody knows
being a Jib
can often be tough
expected to jingle
and jingle with love
then on the days
where love is not felt
Jibs lose their jingle
and Jibs will then wilt
so...

The Hapless Toad
the hapless toad
who croaked a verse
and moved the trees around him
did sway the branches
sway the leaves
at the most profound of meaning
and too did cry
the birds above
at so beautiful a stanza
and soon to history
rose the toad
recited oft' thereafter

Uncle Ned, Fung And Poke
Dong was a song
that Fung the dog sung
Moke was a joke
that Poke the pig spoke
the Ked, a book that was read
is what Uncle Ned said
so Uncle Ned
his dog Fung
and his pig Poke
did Dong and did Moke
for the Ked that they wrote

Hey Ho Does An Octopus Know
hey ho
does an octopus know
how to juggle with eight cups and saucers
and the fish watching him
while the elephants swim
then he juggles with a turtle and tortoise
then ho hey
does the octopus say
I can do this all day round in circles
but an ache in my arm
in my arm, in my arm
and so on through all eight tentacles
so hey ho
let the octopus go

Packedy-Pack I’m Packing
I went on holiday
so I thought I’d pack
I put in my head
I’d be needing that
I packed my arm
because where’s the harm
so too my toes
not forgetting my face
oh, my other arm too
went into the case
better take my legs and feet
they’re important indeed
I added my hips
and my ‘you know what’
well you never know
I might need it or not

Why Things Happen
The splash changed the course of the universe
as the fish startled in his round of the pond.
Why are you here? asked the fish.
I fell in, cried the rat, wearing water he donned.
Why did you fall in? again from the fish.
I just fell in, just fell in, that is all.
But why, you could have fallen several ways
but you fell in here so why into this pool?
I lost my balan...
