Nonsense and Such: The Animal Minded or None
by: Ronovan
I never saw the flight of a turtle dove
Its shell must weigh so much
But when the howler monkey screeches
Why does he choose to say it such
And how much tross could an abla tross
If an abla could tross tross
The truth of the matter is so simple
You determine it by a coin toss
Where does the rilla go
When he must be somewhere
Wherever it must be
He will go in his suit of hair
What does the snake wear with its rattle
When it attends a formal function
Whatever it is it must be secure
Lest there be a wardrobe malfunction
And how will the old coot bandi about
When the season does change
Most likely find another place
But still in down under range
Some may wonder what has happened
To the mind of this odd man
I will explain to you someday
When I can catch it with my hand

So happy with the chuckles you wrote – and then that last stanza: truth, insight, whimsy, and delight. Nicely done

I love your imaginative thinking here.
What is the animal in the fifth verse?

My maternal grandfather used to quote nonsense poems:
I thought I saw a butterfly that fluttered round the lamp
I looked again and saw it was a penny postage stamp
“You’d best be getting home,” I said, “The nights are rather damp.”
…..there were more verses. Can judge the age by that penny postage stamp, ah, nostalgia….
