This week I got the creativity flowing and wrote a nonsense poem!

Edward Lear’s writings are an inspiration for me, and the discovery that I enjoy reading a bit of nonsense!

A Nonsense Rhyme

Arabellabat lived in a flat

She had a cat

And that was that.

The bat and the cat.

 

The flat was a mansarde

Very good, as Arabellabat loved a larder

The cat preferred the farm

and did no harm

The farmer squashed most of the rats

The unsquashed rats followed the cat

so that was that.

 

Arabellabat got lost in a hat

It was a “as black as your hat” kind of hat

She couldn’t see the cat

And as the cat was called midnight

it was a sight that no one could see

so that was that.

 

The mansarde flat was full of fat boxes

They were musty, dusty and crusty

Arabellabat was courageous

The bugs were outrageous

so that was that.

Ps. The “mansarde”
is the German translation.

 

Enjoy whatever you are creating this week!
