New nonsense poem/for fun

Here's a poem wrote as an exercise. Apologies to Carrol and T.S. I liked the idea of reading garbled words, nonsense, but almost get what is being said. Like knowing a bit of spanish and trying to catch up with a native as they explain where the nearest whiskey bar is located. This one is a goof.

Bounding bet ©2003 penny

Priddle and passe and pat, perning on a peer
Saddle up a seaner , brigged and get
Tattle in a tangle, teater and tear
Better a bounder than a booring bet

I dinked this all lost in faddled rhyme
Cast asea only the moon embrates me now
Dark writ in candled awe, besown in time
You and life a pleasant versuasive vow

Priddle and a passel pat, perning on a peer
Seconds call perambled on to a marked set
Tattle in a tangle, teater and fairy tear
Battered buried, bubbled always I, a coddeled bet

Giddle came gancing hand and giddy
Numbing nangle but a nice niddle natter
Reason poared alit reverently beserved
Better a bounder than a clavis crowter

But better a crowter than a booring bet.

There's a nice rythmn there which the alliteration and rhyme seems to sponsor. You have a certain melody going on and I think in writing it is more fun just to go along with the beat. If you don't do anything with this further at least it could serve as a template for other poems perhaps in the meter and structure. See you at the tavern. mick

Writing nonsense is a lot harder than it looks.
