Picayune`s

Posted: Monday, April 14, 2014 Word Count: 64 Summary: Lewis Carroll's wonderful 'Jabberwocky' gave me a notion to write a nonsense poem. Not in the same league, but a bit of fun. |
Picayune’s
Crumb and pie at our tiddly store!
Spangaloons and souperspoons,
Potty-pans and cranky-pots,
We sell pell-mell at Picayune’s.
Mousehole goods and preening stuff,
Harpoons, bassoons and pantaloons.
Buy any shrew and get one flea!
Full stupefaction at Picayune’s!
We’re open for muchness at scrutable hours:
Forenoons, high noons and laughternoons.
Our crises are low, our frivolity high;
Get queasy terns at Picayune’s!
