Riding with the Ghymly
Astride the tri-humped Ghymly
I rode the Widgeon Flat
and tumbled down its windswept hill
to fan the sweating Billawat
the drying droplets crystal clear
hit the sands of dime and dust
exhuming humid threads of steel
weaving roads of silken rust
and so I travelled sight unseen
the Ghymlys’ tread was mute
and by the shores of Kodlawudg
I saw the rolling waves of jute
supplying us with sustenance
flying circles through the weft
see, the giant Ducknee Yagda
had spied our lack of heft
sufficiently suffonsified
we headed for the dunes
and watched the wopsy rising
of the siamese moons
and in that spooksome light
their peckers pointing west
fornicating Pedoliths
procreate with zest
their acetylene Pundits
all billowed in their rage
spewing verbal flames
tried to chase them off this page
but the Ghymly knew their folly
and rose on nether limbs
and trod upon their wicked
geriatric whims
and a wall of Jawin' Gabblings
further wrinkled their demeanour
those verbicidal maniacs
journalistically were meaner
in flatulent abandon
they never more would grope
in illicit understanding
those Pundits lost all hope
the Ghymly took a stance
of, “There, I told ya so!
Never trust the pundit
or to hell we all shall go!”
then turning oh so deftly
on slippered right front toe
the Ghymly turned his head
and said, “tis the time to go.”
we swam the sandy slipstream
slipping past the nimbus dunes
and watched the sanguine setting
of the siamese moons
but, HA! the sun did stretch
it’s bearing luminescent
and let us sleep the slumber
of dreams most convalescent.
