Excellent Verses for Fort Gnarly The Inn at Blackpool : The Inn of Whimsy by Stu Harrell How do you write your poetry? contest entry

Yikes, who writes this stuff? Enough already, enough is enough. Now I ain't no pretty poet As my entries well will tell But I love the garble, barble From here it just be swell Weaned on Jabberwocky And groomed with Silverstein A jostle of Dorothy Parker Gives me a joyful little preen Mum says "Pups get a hobby" Somewhere twixt the work and fun So I run off to Hummy's Warehouse And done got me a Gatlin' gun No bullets pure, now that's for sure Just a spray of verses per yarn Shot 'em off in rapid fire Aimed toward the side of a barn Homeboy archer fires a shot That adds a quote or two Old Cobbler pitches right straight on Sonnets hid inside a shoe After hittin' Spiffy in a Jiffy Came the pocket fairy dash 'Tween the GO GO's and the Dixie Chicks Was a splash of Ogden Nash So in the swirl of the judging cave Came a quiet, tolerant sigh Amidst all this splendid "Litracha" Yikes....Who invited this guy?
