Poem: Fine Beast for Dinner

by Anthony W.


As the sun rises so does the squigglwok

All the knights give way

The king addresses in an loisy way

“The sky is ponge

And night has yet to come

Gather all your kinsmen

Fine beast for dinner and let it be done”

A simple task is it not

For no man has caught the squigglwok

Only sir Erin the lak

Has ever caught a squigglwok

“find me sir Erin”

The grangy king roared

All thorough trussels

Across distant hills

Came sir erin.

“My veedy king you called”

“chuggy your men and get my wok”

At once they did soar

Under the glamp sky

With only the stars to

To light their eyes.

Unpun the night have they watched

The frong beast called the squigglwok

Valiant they were, but to no avail

Two were flayed

By the beast’s tail

Swirlent blades clashed and breemed

At each and every seam

Hobbed were their faces

Wrept were their braces

Till the hero left unseen

Gumped he was by the wok

the men shrept in shock

It was done

They had failed

It seemed

All came to a close

But then the beast shrieked

The hero’s blade stug in its throat

With a pull it crashed and died

Leaving only two alive

They slagged on for two days

Hauling the heavy beast

Till they made it to castle

For the feast

As ever the grangy king roared

“to the honorable sir Erin

We commemorate this feast”

It was a very fine meal to say the least.
