Brian,
It's good of you to retract your 'hasty posting'; I'm sure Williamb is a lovely, forgiving guy - and I hope your ratty mood has desisted. (I'm also sure the copy of
The Oldie that I've sent you [from my temporary residence this week in Germany] will put you into a very happy frame of mind!)
When it comes to nonsense, I've decided I prefer 'proper' words to invented ones - so my attempt at this comp (which is still in kit form at the moment) will be in that vein.
Doug,
As far as "I am not sure if this is proper nonsense" is concerned, I'm not either - but I think your poem's great, all the same! It made me laugh.
Years ago I wrote a '--tion' poem, for the benefit of the kids I was teaching, some of whom were in the habit of writing things like 'stayshun' and 'fashun'. I'll PM it to you.
