'Twas rollog, and the minim potes Did mime and mimble in the cafe; All footly were the Philerotes, And Daycadongs outstrafe. Beware the Yallerbock, my son! The aims that rile, the art that racks, Beware the Aub-Aub Bird, and shun The stumious Beerbomax. He took Excalibur in hand: Long time the canxome foe he sought— So rested he by the Jonbul tree, And stood awhile in thought. Then, as veep Vigo's marge he trod, The Yallerbock, with tongue of blue, Came piffling through the Headley Bod, And flippered as it flew. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SITTING BULL IN SERBIA by WILLIAM JAY SMITH TO THE EXCELLENT ORINDA by PHILO PHILIPPA EPIGRAM OCCASIONED BY CIBBER'S VERSES IN PRAISE OF NASH: 1 by ALEXANDER POPE THE GIFT OF THE GODS by JOHN GODFREY SAXE TO CHRISTOPHER NORTH by ALFRED TENNYSON BEAU NASH by CHARLES TENNYSON TURNER BEAU NASH AND THE ROMAN, OR THE TWO ERAS by CHARLES TENNYSON TURNER TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
