Not Quite the end of the Ardvark . . . but Why

The Greatest A to Z  

Aardvark based Nonsense Poetry in the World

ROUND the RUGGED ROCKS the RAGGED RASCAL RAN

Past a ROTUND RABBIT and a small bald RETIRED man

And as he passed a ROASTER that made a strange sound just like a bark.

He lost his concentration and tripped over an Aardvark. 

S   

The SLIMY SLIPPERY SERPENT SLIPS SILENTLY underneath the 
 . . . . . SIDEWALK

In the dark where man and beast get eaten by a grumpy old  
 . . . . .  Night Hawk

And little dogs run about and annoy pedestrians with their
 . . . . Barks

And every one will run and hide with the arrival of . . . . . . . . .

(Huge indomitable and fearsome man eating) 

 . . . . Aardvarks.

T

In the TINY TOWNS in  . . . . . .  

THE hills of TRANSYLVANIA

Is a beast THAT drives THE population mad 

And has become a world compulsive mania?

With is sharp pointy TEETH . . . . . . 

Sucking blood in THE dark

Everyone lives in fear of 

THE Vampire Aardvark.

U  

Hanging UNDERNEATH UMBRELLAS 

You will find some UGLY fish

Who think that they are bats 

Rather than a battered dish.

They think they are being clever 

Hiding from the multitude of sharks

But hiding in UMBRELLAS 

Means they will be eaten by

Aardvarks.

V

There have been a VERITABLE multitude of beasts

 in the VISION of my VERSE.

But some will think my nonsense poetry

is rather more a curse.

And most will say it is poetry, 

which is full of  . . . . . . . . Impropriety.

Well everyone . . . .  with one exception . . . . . . . . . . . .

If you live in darkest WALES

You will be used to dragons with scaly scales

That have long and pointed pointy tails

A land WHERE the WIND and rain it never fails

WHICH is WHY

As hard as you might try

You will never spy

An Aardvark . . . . . . . With your beady eye.

X

O dear we have arrived at X

Meaning we must mention the terrible Tyrannosaurus Rex

The fearsome beast from the past doth . . . .Hark

Till it choked to death on a large . . . . . . . . . . Aardvark

Phew made it past the tricky letter . . . . (OK there was not a lot of X’s in that)

Things can now only get (slightly) better . . . . .Maybe?

Y

Why Why Why Why  . . . .I hear you say

Why not Y instead of Why today

And Why have Aardvarks from Z to A.

WHY?

Because Aardvarks you see must have their say

And so as down the alphabet we do transcend

It appears we have now nearly

Reached

The

END

But not quite.
