~
jungles swing the mumbles ( a t r u e t a l e )
…
extras, spectres
zebras stripe the tigers
leaches, screeches
leopards spot the frogs
dangles, scrambles
buzzes, bugs & spiders
horses, courses
water, warts 'n' hogs
blisters, sisters
mizzle mists the yonder
thunder, hungers
simmer sings the ode
carrots, parrots
slither anaconda
forest, forage
stop & lick a toad
balmy, barmy
army ants are marching
nifty, swiftly
fifty hundred legs
tardy, snarly
canopies are barking
tipsy pixies
pygmies hunt for heads
orchid, florid
jungles swing the mumbles
lemurs, creepers
tingles ping the spine
wriggles, jiggles
gibbon on in jumbles
fiddles, scribbles
winging vine to vine
...
( a u t h o r n o d e s )
this poem is set in the generic-amalgam jungle
hence the mishmash of different animals
from different continents
