Shooing with Tongue on the Tongue of a Shoe
There once was a mooch named McGerhard McFloo
who spent his whole life on the tongue of a shoe
where he shooed away flintlocks and floogles and stuff.
As a matter of fact, he would get downright rough.
He would beat them with bagels and flog them with floggles
from the foot of their feet to the top of their toggles.
Then he bopped them again every minute or two
till those flintocks and floogles were beat black and blue.
But they just wouldn’t leave till that mooch McFloo sung
a rock-a-bye ballad with only one lung.
Then they leapt and they lithered until they were gung.
Now McGerhard McFloo only shoos with his tongue!
This is one I wrote a while ago. Hope that is kosher??? Certainly, it is nonsensical:For the W3 Prompt: Nonsense Poem

I wrote this poem on a birthday card for my dad as his name was Gerhard. He went by “Ben,” though. No wonder!

Good rhyming yes with words that are nonsensical beyond reason….. I guess that I know what to do, from the mouth in my head, to the bottom of my shoe, I’ll just hold my tongue, and throw a flintlock at you.

He did. He used to read Dr. Seuss to us, as did my mother.

Brilliant. 🌹
I can hear this to the flap of a leather strop of an old boot, flip flap, floogling, flint locking flogglesing.
Bravo 👏
