On Taking My Daughter To Uni.

On Taking My Daughter to Uni.

  We whirly burly roar in stacked hairy chug -chug to

Teensy flat with drill and measure

For cheeslet space.

Oh, bright-jewelled daughter listen well and

Bury the lardy sofa and face-book mats for

Garanding booklet space with

Eyes that grip the spaceous green trails

Of dinting groveous thoughts!

 Beware the smootherous amorit

That hungles hearts in shiny blue.

 Delete the drunk filled swishing,

Expounding minty sluice

And nostrilled dreams of woven duvets.

 Embrace benoddled sacful joyous toothy grins of

 Saporous lights and friendly drisoltous mates.

And doll us proud like fairies

Skinmming Satsuma rainbows

Lost  we  tunnel home to  veletous dog and cat.

Jane, how clever! Talking to teenagers can be nothing but a mouthful of marbles. Super rendition.

Yes, I have given the usual advice and warnings within this poem, but I suspect she thinks its all nonsense, hence the Jabberwocky!

Enjoyed this Jane. Happened years ago for me, but remember it well. Echoes of Jabberwocky?
