Badger & Cabbage (A Nonsense Poem)


from the ABC set Children's Poems

A badger was a type of bird
that lived in antique times.
It flew, much like an apricot,
and hunted snails and limes.

A cabbage was a carnivore
that mostly crept at night
but could scare 30 worms or more
with its venormous bite.

I thought of Spike Milligan reading this one!

Thanks, Dodgystrawberry. I liked him in the Goons and his nonsense poetry had a big influence on John Lennon's lyric writing, which I'm also a fan of.
