A chap called Jabberwocky
Jabberwocky: Wonderland Poetry Challenge Day 24
One fine day…
just around midnight.
I met a strange chappy
Who delivered to me quite the Fright!
He went by the name of Jabberwocky.
Certain I had misheard, I straightened my glasses, nice and snappy.
Jabberwocky!
he confidently repeated.
My friends call me Jabber, because I love to yabber.
Well, there was no stopping him, he would not be defeated
prattled on and on and on…
until his whiffling
became so mind numbing.
His perpetual piffling
almost lulled me asleep.
I was getting quite desperate
when he glanced my way with a gimble
Tipped his hat and shot
Well, I’ll leave you to it!
And speedily went on his way.

I think this might be about a neighbor of mine...Haha!
Very cute and very clever - loved it.
So fun! I love the yabber bits - certainly tracks with the jabberwocky definition.
Fun! I'm going to have to get my head round this prompt today. Wish me luck!
