Among the blob fishes the creepiest critters lives a goby – little one;
Among the diabolic harpy eagle dwells solo hornbill – cute one!
In the grotesque trees of deep woods stood a lonely bird – blue one;
In between the Voodoo lily survives blue daisy – pretty one.
Oh darling, a tenderling! Solo fingerling - a fish baths in turbulent life-ring!
Ticktock went the clock! Lonely jack’s bottom rock with a pack!
I picked a lonely feather and we sat together but he flimflammed me!
Still! I stuck to my only brother and I mimicked him but he blamed me,
I and my shadow huddled and sat – loneliness lollygagged at us!
I cuddled and my shadow mollycoddled loneliness yet it befuddled us.
Oh darling, a tenderling! Solo fingerling - a fish baths in turbulent life-ring!
Ticktock went the clock! Lonely jack’s bottom rock with a pack!
Loneliness sat in the vicinity of a city; I took pity and gave him a cigar;
I invited him – he sat on the cradle – I honored him swings four!
He did not beat a dead horse for sure, opened flood gates – once more;
He attacked with a dagger, robbed me off and left in me a beggar.
Oh darling, a tenderling! Solo fingerling - a fish baths in turbulent life-ring!
Ticktock went the clock! Lonely jack’s bottom rock with a pack!
Single hand clapped lonely wolf laughed – haw-haw!
I crawled into single bed, tears rolled as lone crow cawed – caw-caw!
Solo king on a dingy night sat tiptoed – loneness crept and slept;
And filled in him, grilled him in black and white; killed him and left.
Oh darling, a tenderling! Solo fingerling - a fish baths in turbulent life-ring!
Ticktock went the clock! Lonely jack’s bottom rock with a pack!
ring!
