Look out for the man, at a quarter past 10,
With a step in his spring, and a luminous hen.
3 beards made of nails,
Some ivory whales
And a cufflink the weight of 5 men.

A diamond tiara and a loris fur cape,
Silver-plated toupee, tied up at the nape.
6 boots made of yak,
Human spleens in a sack,
And a gopher that keeps changing shape.

Dragging behind him, a muscular boat,
Two dozen jellies encasing a goat,
A deer made from bunting,
Some cheese fit for hunting,
And a fig-tree approaching a moat.

Surrounding his belly, the stench of a frog,
Standing on hedgehogs, an ambiguous dog,
Big pink monkeys dancing,
A score lancers lancing,
And a phonebook devouring a log.

Oxygen tanks, fit only for mice,
Old chiropractors inflating some lice,
A hole-punched red moon,
A man-bending spoon,
And an elephant made out of rice.

In a big barrel, some lollipop stew,
Waiting with Santa, a cow sniffing glue,
A loincloth of keys,
A belt made of bees,
And a flowering didgeridoo.

Look out for the man at a quarter past 10,
‘Cos if he isn't here now, he just might be then.

It's a series of nonsense limericks.

Poetry rhyme scemes are best if they are:

A
B
A
B

[Where A rhymes with A and B rhymes with B]

Or

A
A
B
B

[Same as above]

Or

A
B
B
A

[Again, same as above]

I just read it again, it is funny in a slapstick way and I am guessing this isn't meant to be taken too seriously...

Of course, some of the best poems consist of irregular rhyming patterns, pararhymes (where the words don't quite rhyme- it creates a sense of chaos!) or don't even rhyme at all!

There are no constraints to poetry and I don't believe that someone can tell someone else how best to go about poetry. Poetry is, after all, often a spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings.

Nice poems!

P.S. I love the 'step in his spring', what a great play on words and it made me chuckle!
