The Glopsnork
Mollie was a brilly girl,
She got a starky fright
When she met the glopsnork
One moony twankled night.
Did it really chancey do?
Or did it dreamy blur?
Mayhaps she was transpuddled
To a beachy sclur.
He stood uplong on three legs,
Sporting a whishy tail,
Droopy ears and a huge nose,
A grin that couldn't fail.
“Jello girlie,” he chuffled.
“Don’t be scrightened a me!
Hi’m ’armless – an I’m legless
Weven though I ’ave three!”
She chaughed in jelightment,
Asked if he’d drinkled gave.
“Polly cosh no!” he gruntled,
“But me legs won’t behave!”
“I’ve been attrying to dance,
Me feep can’t keep pace.
Please come teach me to fogtrot,
I’m all over the place!”
Mollie chunkled and griggled
As she danced along
Jostily with the glopsnork
Who sang a prilly song.
She saw what the promble was,
Every dance there could be
Was meant for two legged folk
Not a glopsnork with three!
She could struct him where to put
His left leg then his right
But that one in the middle
Made a guffy sight.
She didn’t like to say so,
His moodings could be hurt
She made up steps for three legs
Then found herself one short!
When she had to leave him there
He was a-caper still,
She hopes she can retunder
And chaugh another thrill.
