Briffles and Platimoots Noah, before he could truly embark Called the animal knigdom to enter his arc Just a male and a female of each beast would do and they skimpered and jinkled in couples of two The first was a pair of tripodal gazoons who had galloped and swittered across sandy doons They puckerly flit up the gloppery ramps And behind them two climpety furry gazamps The briffles flew down from beruffling clouds With chippering kweeks so obnoxiously loud Then gracefully frudents frupped into the ship Pleasingly dopt with a squippering lip Next were the waddling platimoot pair Who squackled and gizzled and flapped in the air Untidy and guffled but smothered in spuzz They never knew truly what wasn’t and was Prudatiously Naoh filled up the wood boat In satisfied dutters did placiously gloat In whums of deep frithers would swickly obey When starbs of green sea waters twapped them away Forty days, forty nights in the wossel were trapped The briffles were kweeking, the platymoots flapped When chaos was ruling a skatatross fleeked With swigs of a plagnut tree swedged in his beak The arc brunked on top of a grilishing mount Gazamps and the briffles had doubled in count The end of a journey that would be retold For skillions of ages and never grow old Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 08-11-2001).] |

"Next were the waddling platimoot pair Who squackled and gizzled and flapped in the air Untidy and guffled but smothered in spuzz They never knew truly what wasn’t and was" Oh my dear friend ... do you know how truly amazing you are Liz??? This is absolutely and most sincerely ... superb! I could picture all sorts of characters to accompany these wonderfully fantastic images. The flow was so perfect ... and the "words" .... oh my the words, LOL ... excellent!!!  Best wishes and {{{hugs}}} for this great big grin I'm wearing. /Kit |

Oh my granddaughter is going to just love this! See, we will read then sit and draw all the characters you mention in this, and I wonder what a biffle and kweek will look like in her little mind? Wow, she does however draw great Lizatoads, so she may surprise me! Wow, this was fantastic but I adore anything that has the ring of ridiculous to it! Please...another???? Liz, your binder is getting kind of full at my house, time to get published please? Now, I won't say that again, but I promise if you do, I will buy one for every person I know for Christmas honest! To see real beauty ~ being blindfolded helps! ~* Mysteria *~ |
