Haha nice poem, I like the mad eccentricity of it. The imagery is humorous and I particularly enjoyed the last two lines. Thanks for sharing this and have a great day

Well, would you look at this? A sonnet... a perfectly metered sonnet with solid rhymes and even an appropriate turn... filled with lunacy!! Willie is turning over in his grave! I loved how this nonsense followed meter, grammar restrictions and sentence structure while presenting ridiculous crap. Loved the staples and the quacking. Not to mention the attack of the platypi. A solid entry into this contest. Excellent and ridiculous. Well done. Lynda

    Thank you, Lynda, for this awesome review and the giant sixer. They asked for nonsense and that's exactly what I gave them. I'm glad you liked all of the silliness. Have a great week! Ron

I am the egg man, your are the egg men, I am the walrus . . . goo goo goo jube. Ah, they don't write lyrics like that anymore.
Tell me, when did LSD become fashionable again?
This is terrific nonsense . . . and I should know.

Best of luck.

Peace, Lee

Oh, how I wish I had six stars to give you. This is just wonderful. My prediction : Even though the ducks aren't all they're quacked up to be, you will have yours in a row when the platypi attack. Good luck in the contest.

Now Author I must tell you rather your poem was intentionally nonsense or unintentionally, might I say as a reader, you nailed it. Ok! Because I read it a couple times to try to make it make sense and the funny thing about it was that it didn't make sense to me and from that experience, I found myself laughing anyway. Thanks for sharing.

You definitely adhered to the nonsense poem rules;-) Your work is totally speaking nonsense;-)

Misspelled word:
("platypi"???)

I might change the background color, just a suggestion;-)

EXCELLENT job!
Thanks for sharing and many blessings;-)

    Thank you for the excellent review, Melodie. I usually change the background color but didn't catch it this time. I wasn't sure if platypi was the plural of platypus but when I looked it up it said this is how it's spelled. Thank you for the generous stars. I hope you have a great weekend.

A superb sonnet, crammed with nonsense. Words, whole sentences, animals, actions (while milking my rhinoceros in Rome! Genial!) and nonsense coating brains. All ads up to this great piece.
Ought to win the contest!
