Young Alistair Campbell
would continually ramble
whenever he wrote poetry
Saying words aren’t the thing
that make a piece sing
There are many who disagree
When I asked what he meant
he said ninety percent
of my work is meant to confuse
It’s my own personal choice
when I’m using my voice
I’m happy to go with my muse
Then he began
Goats living in Random
travel round on a tandem
as soon as they’ve paid the road toll
While Barbary Ducks
are allowed to drive trucks
but only at the North Pole
That’s because of toads
who are barred from the roads
unless they’re out on parole
Kentucky fried chickens
can make easy pickings
by badgers when out on the prowl
Who discovered the trick
is a long pointed stick
and the help of stuffed Tawny Owl
while the owl is the key
the chickens agree
that this is a definite fowl
Rhinoceros pies
are small for their size
declare Vegans living in Kent
The reason it’s said
is the use of brown bread
and also the rises in rent
Set by the committee
in charge of the city
claiming the income was spent
Then war was declared
by the turtles who shared
a railway carriage with mice
Who demanded reduction
for its shoddy construction
And had taken legal advice
They were offered a cut
of two dollars a foot
stating that this would suffice
When the time came to part
I knew he was smart
he’d shown that a poet should write
What runs though his head
despite what is said
and should never feel contrite
...

Thank you my friend, and another nut joins the party. Welcome

I am going to have to start to learn to let my imagination run as wild as yours cause you really are capable of producing some real gems with your words. I don't actually think I have run across another person suc as yourself who can let himself forget the laws of nature and create a brand new world of wonder and fun. I think you would make a wonderful story teller. Nonsense is a friend of mine so the more the better. Thank you for being you.
-
Well it was one heck of a read! Even if it was a weird write,
your rhymes never fail. They are always perfect..a good
write in a weird way!
-
Hmmmmm
If nothing else this proves that 'they're not all locked up yet' thank goodness..
Where do you get all these crazy ideas? perhaps you'd better not answer that
thanks for the laugh
-
Roger...as they say
when you're right. And this all seems very politically correct to me. Of course I'm freaking insane
-
LMAO!!!
But hey you're NONSENSE, makes perfect sense when it comes to penning something from creativity is spent..
..i personally loved this silly carefree goofy fun fest-full of silly humor!!

Now Alistair Campbell
who likes a good ramble
asked Legend to write this one down
he is no fool
he's one golden rule
words make a smile not a frown
Because it's from you
we just have to view
and most that you write is just fine
apart from The Pen
who now and again
writes such a distracting line
Whatever you're on
before it's all gone
I think you should pass it around
then AP will smile
just for a while
before sensibility's found!Great poem ... and you knew we'd read
-
-
I am happy to see
that we both agree
that poetry should raise a smile
Who wants to shed tears
reading other folks fears
their offerings raises the bile
Much better to grin
and chuckle within
Than to spend all day feeling depressed
laughter they say
keeps the doctor ways
and small piece of nonsense is best
So you can be sure
I'll be writing some more
when ever the urge is at hand
I want to succeed
providing a read
that no one will ever call bland
-
-
You're right off your rocker
But I'm not a knocker
Your poetry blows us away
There's no noun or verber
Who's any superber
Than you are at rhyming today
So fill up your ditty
With words that are pretty
As long as the sound makes you swoon
So brilliant a writer
A reader delighter
I bet that you're not a baboon
Fantastic stuff
-
-
I have to admit I'm a bit of a wit
when it comes down to fooling the reader
None think that it's shit but say its a hit
I'm really a fantastic bleeder
-
-
You been on those drugs again? this gave me a smile x
-
-
Is Earl Grey tea a drug ? Then yes
-
-
You just might be completely "off your rocker" as they say. Complete nonsense, and a lot of fun to read. The rhyme scheme is one of my favorites, especially for longer poems.
-
-
Off my rocker? could be but i did not waste time reading this rubbish
-
-
I did not waste a second, I enjoyed every moment!!
