The Endless Rubaiyat of Saragun Springs translated by Dame Daisy Kloverleaf

i

the orange wingly winged wee billigits

protested their unrhymed color to bits

poetry is bigotry they chanted

we demand a wordly word be made to fit

ii

this wise moving hoof had to scoffly scoff

you boys are too quick to poutly pout

invent your own rhymes and quit whining

knockingly knock it off or I’ll knock you out

iii

this threatly threat caused a new vexation

it started the realm’s united nations

movements put the smell in silly shit

billies are our squeezers of creation

iv

so it has come down to the scorngely scornge

that everyday is a morngely mornge

and I blamely blame the billi-half-wits

for dumb rhymely rhymes to use with orange

    Wishing only to be helpful (sole purpose in my life), may I bring to your attention the name of a mountain in South Wales, just south of Abergavenny? It’s called ‘The Blorenge,’ a boon to poets everywhere.

  2. I reckon Ms Kloverleaf should watch out when walking on the plane lest billigit slippers/that look like kippers/fall at speed/so just take heed/and watch the sky/as they pass by/or an injured pate/may be her fate/the writing hoof/may feel aloof/but newtons laws/can be the cause – of a large and throbbing swelling on the bontz. What terrible doggerel, I hang my head in shame but I was just in the mood to rhyme a bit. Sorry, really sorry.

    I see here that my other comment has been shot out into the Universe or otherwise emended via complete disappearance, but let me just say again that it’s a joy to see Omar Khayyam’s and Edward Lear’s favorite successor reappear like this so suddenly out of nowhere!

    I also mentioned Dylan’s song “Angelina,” for comparison; Angelina, whose name he rhymes with concertina, hyena, subpoena, Argentina, and arena.

    The Moving Hoof shows a Dylanesque facility with rhyme, big time, and long term!

    Thank you!

    • Thank you Dale
      I always appreciate your remarks and I sympathize with the internet trolls who hang out in word press like little Sal Mineo film thugs.

      Daisy gas a hugh altitude ego, but giving her a Dylan compliment gave her cause to blush!
