What Is The Scroungle? (Inspired By Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky) Poem by DM W
What Is The Scroungle? (Inspired By Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky)
The Scroungle lives on the Isle of Piffy. It has lived
There, quite quackily, for thousands of octolids.
It likes to granger in the mud with the Flossywatts.
The Scroungle is a refined type of Chavak.
It likes to roam around the Rooners looking
For lots of slugslops and kelpits to devour.
And what does this fascinating creature look like?
For your pleasure, I'll tell you in plain English.
Think of a lizard-like being with a hint of beetle.
And it has the warm, yet often wild, heart of a mammal.
Its blecks are fiery orange like the sun
It also has four nelegons and a long snoozle.
Dominic there is a word PH has omitted from my previous comment. The word s n a t c h as in s n a t c h away. How long till they ban Antidisestablishmentarianism, simply for being not rude but for being too long.
Oh very, very good and so very, very, clever. You craftily give with one hand then away with three others. And your choice of the stand alone word Scroungle is genius inspired. Lewis Carroll would most certainly doff his hat to you. And when he wrote Jabberwocky or Alice was he ever on opium or laudanum? 10+ and richly deserved for your unique poem Dominic. Many, many thanks good sir.

Revisiting a highly original and beautifully imagined poem by a poet who knows how to write a brilliantly crafted poem.10+. A poem I believe to make Roald Dahl and Lewis Carroll both proud to read and smile.
