The Greatest A to Z
Aardvark based Nonsense Poetry in the World
N
NEVER NIBBLE the toes of a NEWT
Or try to glue one inside your bosses boot
Because NEWTS you see have a NASTY streak
And will suck out your brains making your future bleak.
Yes NEWTS are clever
NEWTS have been known to bark
And it is a little known fact that they invented
The NEWTONIAN Aardvark
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.
O
O dear said OSCAR as he dropped his pet OTTER
Into an ORIFICE made by a notorious Rotter
And although he tried to entice it with OCTOPUS livers
It escaped OFF . . . . into the rivers
Because as we know
OTTERS are Tarka’s and not really givers.
(Tarka’s . . . . Takers) HAH HAHAH AHH Ahah h hah ah ah hah h a hha ha ha haha ha ha ha.
P
PETER the PARROT is a PRICELESS bird
It can sing the Star Spangled Banner and impersonate the late Thora Hird
And if feeling PECKISH or can't think of the right word
It PRETENDS it’s the aardvark from Shakespeare’s play
Richard the Third.
Q
If you stand . . . . .
in a QUEUE . . . . . . .
with a Gnu . . . . . . .
People will QUIETLY whisper . . . . . . .
in a QUADRANGLE . . . or two . .
Or QUIVER with fear and shout loudly.
AuuuuuugggghhhhHH Shoo
Or throw bits of Aardvark . . . . . . At the Smiling Gnu
And maybe at you.
R
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
. . . . . 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
But hiding in umbrellas
Means they will be eaten by
Aardvarks.
Poor fish. Just when they think they are being smart, along comes that sneaky aardvark!
ReplyDeleteI think this is the only blog on the A to Z that has mentioned Aardvarks, Fish and Umbrellas all in the same post.
DeleteI don't imagine umbrellas are particularly good for hiding fish. Aardvarks always know.
ReplyDeleteUmbrellas are very useful during a rain of terror, although not for a fish.
DeleteWhen I saw it was going to be the letter U, I closed my eyes and wished and wished and wished and wished that hopefuLLy the word Unification was going to be included. Perhaps all my wishes made aLL the fishes appear. That sounds logical and would not be denyed if you asked an aardvark to reply.
ReplyDeleteI not sure I can make unification rhyme with anything ? ? ?
DeleteMMMMM
We Dream of Uni-fic-ation
to create the Worlds first
Aardvark Na-tion.

Why dont Aardvarks get cold
The are full of Anti - Freeze . . . . .

Someone stole a hubcap from my car in a carpark today . . . . I was a little annoyed. . . The gods will judge their act of petty crime I think.....
DeleteI love your poem, died haha'ing. There is the possibility that hubcaps can come off if they aren't put back on completely after tire repairs - had any of these lately? Most of my current vehicles have wheels without hubcaps by design. I am fixing to get new tires for my Ford truck.
DeleteI was thinking of installing constant video surveilance for my vehicle from inside the cab. We have had too many bad incidents lately in our business neighborhood.
DeleteFish thinking they are bats… the true scourge of our times. People think it's rampant drug use or wars, but it isn't. It's batfish.
ReplyDeleteWere they fast? If so, maybe Putin launched GMO rushin' batfish. I tried finding the Russian word for batfish and had no luck, which seems to confirm my suspicions that Putin is behind it.
