the wee billigits took a pleasure flight
and far below a remarkable sight
a fair maid sang an invitation to
wuthering wuthering wuthering heights
ii
by name cathy who cast a shadow not
nor by the wind were her long tresses caught
she warmly called to coldy cold heathcliff
a master whom she most greedily sought
iii
on the wily windy moorly moors
the billigits saw the one so adorned
in pinecone ribbon sash chain and jazz hands
they offered aid to their newly adored
iv
the billigits wanted to help her fight
they called out and she looked into the sky
Who are you and what land do you come from
billigits billigits billigits heights
the billgits (translated by dame daisy kloverleaf)

Oh yes, I could detect the Kloverleaf interfer.. Influence very early on. Brilliant. dd

I couldn’t believe this when I saw it and nearly fell out of my chair! My main comment on this right now is that I LOVE THIS! on multiple levels. Stunned silence followed by much joyful applause and clapping of hands! More soon…

Hi Dale
Light verse is fun.
When life becomes too much of a tussle
And your mind is as shut as a mussel
Remember a friend whose mind was facile
By name, the legendary Nipsy Russell

“the rubaiyat of the billigits part two” has a mind-blowing quality to it because of the layers and levels involved. On one hand, it can be read by “anyone” and made sense of, especially by extremely intelligent children of any age. On the other hand, if one is aware of the dual, or multiple, source material/s, part two delves deep while remaining so high (literally), and becomes profound while also remaining hilarious and charming.
Like I said in my earlier comment, I was initially (and still am) quite blown away by this.
Extremely glad there are more rubaiyats forthcoming from the prolific billigits. You were already my favorite fiction writer and essayist, now you’re my favorite poet, too!
Your work gives more life, the greatest gift literature can bring (and what better gift could there be?)!
THANK YOU!!

Which leads to the question – How does someone or something “wuther”?

You are a master of light verse. And I have to say, it also strikes me as something deeper than light verse, or something deep in the guise (the mask) of light verse, so to say. Call it a plea for the imagination in a world (an almost-global society) of boring nonimaginative things (and beings, and lemmings especially). And that’s deep! But the light verse it comes in here = endlessly charming too. The billigits know how to rock. Thank you!

I like Ogden Nash and Dorothy Parker, as well as Nipsey Russell. And Edna St Vincent Millay

It will not last the night
But oh friend, oh foe
It casts a lovely light.”
