I have no idea in what year I wrote the following (it is written on an electric typewriter therefore it’s from pre-computer times!) although I do remember that one day a silly phrase came to mind and I recalled the poem “The Jabberwocky” which I had read in junior high school.
I reread the poem and then proceeded to write the following over a period of about three days; then the inspiration dried up (thank goodness!) and I put my verses together in a folder and stored them away. The other day, while I was cleaning out some papers, the folder appeared, so I presume it is time to go public just for fun and to change the pace of this blog for once.
NO SENSE NONSENSE
No sense nonsense is meant to produce pleasure, fun and joy. It should “dingle lightly in the ear and spraunce undaunted on the tongue”. There is no sense in trying to assign it any sense and all meanings deduced from these verses are, beyond a doubt, responsibility of the reader.
The titles of the poems speak for themselves in the sense that they usually have nothing to do with the content of the verse. For those interested in analytical interpretation, the possibilities are infinite and yet a bit more. However, the author of these creations denies, across the board, the validity of any interpretation whatsoever including the interpretation that states that the poems are uninterpretable.
Readers may now proceed at their own risk.

I
A LONG DAY’S JOURNEY
INTO NONSENSE
Wheezing bump long golden road
come-come lets blueing
meadow in the mimble
to greener snare and wimbling dare
and wild the browning symbol
II
EULOGY TO THE NONSENSE
OF A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S… WHATEVER
Whistle twilldoe the yonder hill
tree-basked in purple plumes
ooze the light aforthing still
in pinks galore the daffildumes
III
NO SENSE IN ASKING
Bimble bamble buff
the cuff had none
the job was done
bimble bamble buff
IV
WHEN MORNING BECOMES ETCETERA
Dill and dune bespeckled yet
in morning winkle tweeze
whisked up beneath the breeze
V
AS THE HUMMINGBIRD SIMPS
Emerald upon the lawn green
so dindling a song is seen
so rare a beak is tipling
And nare a streak it would refrain
till featherspent upon the nest
all be it dusking once again
the quiet mirth dips to rest
VI
NO SENSE IN THE SUN ALSO RISING
Yellow not my battened berth
Roar the reddened dawnscape earth
Await the wafted pearling
VII
THE SOUND OF NONSENSE
Come comb the mushbloom woods
and wassing mist
does yet insist
the greenbranch all acclaiming
VIII
STICKS AND STONES ARE NONSENSE
ALL THE REST IS BS
Of flint stone thought the wildly word
would worble ever near
and spraunce it might, with great delight
to dingle in the ear
IX
NONSENSE NEVER FLOWS
UNDER THE SAME BRIDGE TWICE
While on its way
the water tends to winder*
whifting past
blue boulderfast
never more to hinder*
*Pronounce with long “i”.
X
MIND THY OWN NONSENSE
Dandle dipping does not dare
dusk the drewy dears
or cramble carefor through the mare
of softly shifting tiers
XI
DIAL “N” FOR NONSENSE
Hark ye yonder mushbloom
whiting in the dawn
cap all dortled blackdoom
to unsuspecting fawn
XII
THEY COULD HAVE NONSENSED ALL NIGHT
Chortling charm he wamfled cross the floor
and slimped the dainty damsel off her feet
all mumsy tripped she atween his alore
and danzled they
the night a whey
from crepuscule to sunbeat

And, having said this, I off myself to Madrid for a few days visit.
Love it! What a relief from serious sense. Sure Lewis C. wont mind, aka Charles Lutwidge Dodgson of all the stodgy names.
This is delightful nonsense and very clever. Thanks.
