Nonsense Poems

There are holes in the sky There are holes in the sky Where the rain gets in
But they're ever so small That's why the rain is thin.

The Lion
If you're attacked by a Lion Find fresh underpants to try on Lay on the ground quite still Pretend you are very ill
Keep like that day after day Perhaps the lion will go away.

Today I saw a little worm
Wriggling on his belly
Perhaps he'd like to come inside
And see what's on the telly.

Our Version of On the Ning Nang Nong!
On the Meak, Mick, Moom,
Where the snails all zoom,
And the donkeys all say BOO!
There's a Mick, Moom, Meak,
Where the camels go squeak,
And the tables jibber, jabber joo!
On the Moom, Meak, Mick,
All the horses go tick,
And you just can't catch 'em when they do!
So it's Meak, Mick, Moom,
Snails all zoom,
Mick, Moom, Meak,
Camels go squeak,
Moom, Meak, Mick,
Horses go tick,
What a noisy place to belong, is the Meak, Mick, Meak, Mick, Moom!!
On the Meak, Mick, Moom,
Where the snails all zoom,

Where the camels go squeak,
And the tables jibber, jabber joo!
On the Moom, Meak, Mick,
All the horses go tick,
And you just can't catch 'em when they do!
So it's Meak, Mick, Moom,
Snails all zoom,
Mick, Moom, Meak,
Camels go squeak,
Moom, Meak, Mick,
Horses go tick,
What a noisy place to belong, is the Meak, Mick, Meak, Mick, Moom!!
