Blendlijam

climb up inside my armblylap
my grapen bubble gumblylamb
I'll windle you some yarnitales
of loopinzoops and plarmisails

we'll setaflite a fiddle-kite
with wings and strings and treblelites
feather-cleft in nestingnotes
our double-breasted codacoats

shoot the stars with cannonblooms
and peritwinkle floramoons
we'll gladiover daffostills
aquaribus to bougainvilles

or if you like we'll wishenup
a flutter-scented mutterduck
with seven hundred clownidowns
all thickaldee with verblynouns

and when you floatsum lobblylimp
we'll botorport in pillowslips
and there you'll trottle dreamideep
in fuddlesands and woolyheaps
