Tongue Twisting Twaddle

This one is for Don M. who bemoans the lack of serendipity on WOL and would like to see a bit more frippery.

That Gal Gladys

Could it be we take ourselves too seriously?

Maybe our pomp possy posing needs a little pricking, A little snacker snicking?

As Twiddly Thumb said to Twiddly Toe,

“That gal Gladys wuz really weird. Wherever did she go?”

“Yea! All that hanging out with hares and hatters,

But she wasn't dumb.”, said Twiddly Toe to Twiddly Thumb?

“Her asking all those convoluted existential questions

Gave me a hypothetical series of quantum indigestions.”

 

Just then a ferocious, frenzied, flock of jurassic fleas

Came leaping through the jumbled, tumbled, lumberley trees.

Devouring all before them with crinching crunch and mangling munch,

They were an anti-social bunch.

Close behind them came a herd of hairy homo sapiens,

Armed to the teeth with clipboards and pens.

These pyrrhic philosologuys tried their best to analyze

The furious, fractious, fray. With razored reason they fought the fleas,

Snicker snacker, snicker snack.

But the fleas just snickered back

And the score was naught point three.

 

Suddenly midst the screams and roars

A sweet little voice, to much applause,

Said, “'Tis time for tea. Let's have a pause.”

'Twas that gal Gladys dropin' by in her turquoise Tardis.

A mean machine, how it did gleam and steam, in the setting sun.

Gladys sipped some tea, bit a flea-bitten bun, waved to the crowd

And said, “Oh what fun, luv y'all but gotta run!”

Then with a with a cheshire cat grin, she got back in and closed the door.

“Oh no! What a bore!” the crowd all groaned.

They then decided to go back to doing what they were doing before.

 

Twiddly Toe said to Twiddly Thumb

(Just before he did succumb to an enraged homo sapium)

“Think that gal got it right. Yea, she really was quite bright.

She often said, 'twas her belief, 

A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.

On dreary days it brings some lite relief.

But, oh take great care,

Too much will rot your teeth!”
