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

“When, too, furry forks, fave socks sieving, eat known tin”

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 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

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

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

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

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?
