The Blatherwight

Hyyre n proave

pon sheed unjoad

in hoye β€˜n hoyle-howls

befuddled word, o’blite absurd

he gurgled remott’d vowels

 

Lesp he β€˜n shyy

for ryle deride

aggrinn aggurny byy

rillig speech, from creatured-eeb

flowed his otherworldly vibe

 

So jue a norn

to borrishly

this being spoke in tongue

but wopeth no apology

for such unbridled shrung

 

It siff ! it siff !

with runniblud

his demon words gave fright

so flee the folk all zetified

and cursed the Blatherwight
