Today a jabberific jilly jay
Set out a squall, squawkering up a beat
Within a patch of hilly grass it brayed
jaw-kaw joo-koo jah-wah kee-nee-kaw keet
But what does that mean said I to the thing
the jay looked at me with pretentious might
it bent and twisted like it was a king
and sent me into a flurplous fright
the inconsiderate beast's breadth grew wide
til it was as large as a swollen loon
it squawked and brayed it misbehaved and cried
and squeezed out an egg the size of a moon
I wrote this nonsense poem for my poetry class. Rhyme scheme = ABAB CDCD EFEF

>That was a bad idea. I thought you knew… >Oh, the pathos! I don’t really know you as well as I should. In fact, I may not know the real you at all. That essential, sparkling you that you only reveal to a select few. Had I been paying more attention to the stories you are so fond of telling, in which you are invariably author, narrator and protagonist, I would not have been so foolish as to set you up on a blind date. After all, no friend has ever done anything of the kind for another. That’s preposterous. What is a friend, really?
