Albin The Aardvark Poem by Ben Gieske

Albin The Aardvark

Rating: 2.6




In Albany abides an aardvark, Albin. Albin is an albino animal. All around Albin's abode, abound the almighty ants. Another animal abiding alongside Albin's abode is Algie the alligator. He's an animal alligator. Almost all afternoon Albin the aardvark ambles up and down the alley always alert. Almost all afternoon Algie the alligator is asleep in the alley. One afternoon, Albin the aardvark ambles alongside and awakes Algie. 'Al! Any appetite? ' 'Auuuuuuugh! , ' answers Algie, 'Awful appetite.' After ambling around, Albin goes abed and is asleep. Algie is also asleep with an awful appetite. What do you think Algie the Alligator could eat with the awful appetite? (Algie can only eat things that start with 'A'. Help me out. I can only think of 8.) . I don't know if this is considered a poem or not. Help me out.

Yes, yes, I love this one. I would describe it as an alliteral tale; prose rather than poetry, and I would like to see you expand it. I want to learn more about these creatures of yours. Go on, make your brain ache, thinking up lots more 'A's. Irene

Things are looking bleak for Albin.
