Humour - Wasting me foddle dee doddle dee time (nonsense rhyme for Poetry Monthly)

 

 

O me Facebook is fun – it is second to none

With me flick-a-dee, click-a-dee dido.

I post all me pictures of Saffron me puss

And me pal Jenny’s doggie called Fido.

Flick-a-dee, click-a-dee till I’m half sick a dee

Frolicky dolicky rido.

 

(Wasting me time with me time-wasting rhyme

Quick-a-dee, Trick-a-dee lido.)

 

With me ole Mobile Phone I am never alone

With a ring-a-ding sing-a-ding ding dong.

I text chit and chatter and do all me patter

With me textspeak and vextspeak and sing-song

Fingery dingery pringery thingery

Tra-laa-laa, faa-laa-laa ping-pong.

 

(Wasting me time with me time-wasting rhyme

Bolicky rolicky bing-bong.)

 

Now with dear Abc I am happy and free

With me feedback and readback and writing

I’m so glad we’re here I’m hopping with glee

And with none of you shall I be fighting.

But when the editors don’t give me cherree

Then Elsie is not a happee bunnee!

Bitchery witchery fitchery ditchery

Spittery spotery spiting

 

(Wasting me time with me time-wasting rhyme

Littery lottery liting.

Miaow - the Katz has claws!) 

 

Now listen up! – Elsie shall give you advice

For this is a tale with a MORAL

Be good little kitties and don’t ask me twice

And with you aunty puss-puss won’t quarrel.

Leave your gizmos at home – get out and about

Be creative, be bold, go sing and go shout.

The MAN won’t like – he can go take a hike!

Take a bus, cram a van, walk and talk, ride a bike

Be fun bright and fizzy, be daring be dizzy.

Sing and dance, leap and prance, be yourself – no-one else.

You’re not a machine – you’ve a brain in your head

You’ve legs to your body, a life that’s not dead

So study my words, then - have fun in your bed!

 

This is the Christmas message from your good friend Elsie Katz and I wish you all the very best and hope to meet with you here on Abctales again in 2017!
