Grunkling Never Gets You Anywhere


Darkle trunkles the saddest tune
aye, flurtling on a sorry moon,
I'll wail and forrock, hear
Borrocks boom, the desolate
crunk of Nurkles.

Ah, flobble frink I see you there,
Crink Corple behind the chair,
sniff jumkles then, see if I care
your snoffle lumps you will not share,
not one small flot for me?

(sobbing in a pathetic way)

Oh darkle foobit, wise Flobblejobs
that flutter on the breezy breeze,
How I'd wished I'd grunckled less

for it flooed me to my knees!

Edward Lear would say you must have lemons in your head. When words fail you-make your own. Fun.

Golly Stellaaaah [startin' to sound like Brando?] this is good. I'm a big fan of nonsense verse [Jabberwocky, natch, and yes Rambling Sid Rumpo too.] Perhaps you'd do me the honour of looking at 'Wumbelfood' [posting in a min.] It's an old one but judging by 'Grunkling', and the favourable comments you attracted...

It's definitely Rambling Sid, via Stanley Unwin ... but why no mention of cordwangles?

So - Grunkling never gets you anywhere...
well, it got me chunkling to myself! A delightful exploration of language in a great English tradition.

Good one, Stella. Sounds more Lewis Carroll to me, but just love it! :)

I think possibly reading too much Hitchhikers Guide Philip?
