(and now a zirt toolah from space before we twirp back to the fodumfourous yago of Plekke and Jaul and their umpodux twipsums together...)

I was dakooted by Earthlings who pirked in Galump

of Golden Arches which they swirt "was a dump"

They blumfed and they borfled and snattered some too

their planet, at home, dwirjk!, we'd call it  a zoo

--

They snirted and frollied in big "SUVs"

and blorted and blinxed out most of their trees!

Well, Duxma and Doolip!; such strange Flooknedors

I murl on my blurl; these blories had wars!

--

Some eartlhings had mootnah and restno had fluk

Half mirtled quite nicely leaving others quite nucked!

They had enough jootsam to joot all of their Jurbi

but kept to themselves, Drom drooie dum flooie?!

--

I dindered to blinx them with my extingiwidget

my knurbling was kurbling, mul swirk, starting to fidget?

but then what to my lonfoood eyes did appear?

a hurtah called "Seinfeld", I'll mirl you next year!

This one is for fans of nonsense verse. A tribute to Dr. Seuss, Edward Lear, Spike Milligan, Lewis Carroll and any other nonsense poets you can think of. Main story is about a couple called Plekkle and Jaul - and their romance. Guidelines: Please add at least 4 x 4 line verses in each chapter. Try and use at least 3 nonsense words per verse. Desirable metre (or meter,depending on which side of the Atlantic you are!) - Anapestic tetrametre. This metre favoured by Dr Seuss, and it's also the rhythm of the famous poem called ''A Visit From St Nicholas'', which begins ''Twas the Night Before Christmas.'' So it goes: da da DUM, da da DUM, da da DUM, da da DUM. (but you can miss out the first ''da'' at the beginning of a line.) It's difficult to do, consistently - Dr. Seuss was the master - but looks (and sounds) great, if done well. The secret is to think up some really nice, funny-sounding words, and it doesn't matter if nobody understands what they mean, as long as it all sounds feasible - if you know what I mean. :-)
