The Lexaloffle
by John White
was 5 o'clock sharp when i saw a thing move
gleaming a gleam in the cool winter blueit sprung into shape, what a skuffle it made!
i jumped to the the ground, for a moment i stayed
watching to see what the thing it would dooh golly my life and my plans, they were through
the thing with it's eyes they do beedy at me
an-tennas a-flailingling, i pleaded with thee:
oh please lexaloffle, don't suffocate me!
i'll make you a sandwich, i'll bring you some tea!
there's mountains beyond full of fluffybum flies
they're full of vi-o-ba - that's good for your eyes
the long orange thing, catipillar in style
it's tail went upwards and turned with a smile
its dozens of knees and its dozens of toes
were wobbling and waving , a wizard's old nose
"oh person, you be" it did think and i heard,
"this shyness and fear and contempt is absurd -
i happen to be in this cool winter blue
just dreaming a dream of the air and the view
with that it did bundle where once it did lay
it must've just wanted a sniff of the day
that strange orange beast it will always remain
a memory of fondness, a memory to stay
