Jabberboxy #464
Jabberboxy Inspired by and formatted like Lewis Carroll's very famous nonsensical poem, Jabberwocky… ‘Twas dusky and the slimy toads did poach and plummet in the stew, All whimsical were ostrich lobes, and wild rats impish too. Beware the Jabberbox, my son! The curly locks, the lashes long! Beware of words before begun to masquerade as song! He brought the putrid spoon to mouth: He sought the most revolting smooch- So, there, did he, neath swamp nut tree, start foaming like a pooch. And, as in rabid thought, he foamed, the Jabberbox, with eyes of blue, Threw back her tangled hair, once combed, and rambled words that spewed ... "Did this! Did that!" and, tit for tat, the putrid spoon went splitter-splat! He filled her lips, so, with deep sips, she hushed her futile chat. "Oh, did thou kiss the Jabberbox?" Come tell me truth, mine lovesick boy! "And did thou both sing tra-la-la when potion was employed?" ‘Twas dusky and the slimy toads did poach and plummet in the stew, All whimsical were ostrich lobes, and wild rats impish too. |
