Electric Eels, Elephants and Aardvarks

The Greatest A to Z  
Aardvark based Nonsense Poetry in the World 



A
Poetry is easy . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . or so some say
So through the ALPHABET . . . . . .I will play
Starting right here . . . here with the letter A
AND a rather silly nonsense poem, to end the day.

So to the distant sound of a mad dogs bark.
I’ll start AT the start with thee AARDVARK.
AH

DAMN.


B
The BEE and the BEAR met a BEAVER
Who looked rather aggressive with a large meat cleaver?
He shouted be gone, BACK off, and leave me BE
I’m BUSY chopping down, this BIG tree.

So the BEE he BUZZED and the BEAR he growled
And a BANSHEE somewhere BEHIND them howled
And that then made the mad dog BARK
Then what turned up BUT another Aardvark
AH

DAMN (again)


C
Here we are by the C
All blue and wavy and a little wet maybe
With CATERPILLARS CUTE and CUDL-EEE. . . (No its not CHEATING)
And we all run about on the COUNT of three.
As CRABS and CATFISH play in the bay
Or so the gnarled old Seadogs do say
But Seadogs are mad and tend to bark
Arousing the monstrous Sea Aardvark

O NO

AAAAauuuuuuuuuuugggghhhHHHHH

D
DID the DODO DIE out or was it a DECEPTION
To avoid meeting Great DANES at a posh reception
Because all they do is shout and bark
So is the DODO now DISGUISED as a smallish Aardvark

And does your DOG get up with the lark
And chase sticks about in the park
And is it mad and tend to Bark
Annoying the park keepers trusty old and loyal Aardvark

E
When an Elephant meets an Electric Eel
There is bound to be a noisy squeal
As one beast gets squashed by the others heel
And  . . . . . . . (slight pause and wait)
Creates a huge ten thousand volt Arc
Which is the sort of voltage that will make a dog bark
Or light up they eyes of an adult Aardvark.

Out in the deserts of his favourite park.


And A special Hello for Miss Lily and Master Lil man
Good to hear from you
Take care and be good

    1. There is an old say Mr Flip that says something like

      Eel be coming round the mountain when me comes.

      I hope that resolves that for you I know it makes it fairly clear in my mind. . . .

  4. There once was an elephant named Hugo,
    Who was shaped like a big huge O,
    But that was just his torso, incomplete,
    For he was more D so, including his feet.
    So D or O, D or O, the DODO lives on
    as a partial pachaderm vision version.

    1. I think you have a interesting way with words there Mr ESB, I like it, I think you need to write more of these. . . . .Time permitting, as you already do many things. . . . I also have many things to do, but if I shut one eye and turn my head to the left and stoop a bit I cant see some of them . . . . Although folk shouting Quasimodo at me is rather annoying

    2. I like your idea of shutting one eye and turning left and not seeing some. Shutting both eyes and seeing none is most likely no tan noption. Poetry is life ...

    3. And Life is Poetry . . . .:)
