A form of light verse, usually for children, depicting imaginative characters in amusing situations
of fantasy, whimsical in tone and with a rhythmic appeal, often employing fanciful phrases
and meaningless made-up words.

for bawdy or straightforwardly humorous, rather than nonsensical, effect.

Other nonsense verse makes use of nonsense words—words without a clear meaning or any meaning at all.
Someother nonsense verse uses muddled or ambiguous grammar as well as invented words,
Some simply illustrate nonsensical situations.
Some nonsense verse simply presents contradictory or impossible scenarios in a matter-of-fact tone

6. For a while he simplycried "aye, aye"
Finding nice went on with "aye, aye, aye"
A friend then came there saying "hi, hi"
For him the "aye, aye" sounded "hi, hi"
Hearing all these grandpa came nigh, nigh
Grandson too came there with high "aye, hi"
He, his son and the friend cried "aye, aye"
Irked grandpa cried high "don't cry aye, aye"

Feared friend atonce fled bidding bye bye
Staring stood grandpa with fierce eye, eye
Son feigned, "oh my, my, dad your eye, eye"
More raged dad slapped son.Said "your aye aye"
Feared grandson fled atonce with "bye, bye"
Dad and son kept staring eye to eye
