Not Quite the end of the Ardvark . . . but Why

The Greatest A to Z  
Aardvark based Nonsense Poetry in the World 




R
ROUND the RUGGED ROCKS the RAGGED RASCAL RAN
Past a ROTUND RABBIT and a small bald RETIRED man
And as he passed a ROASTER that made a strange sound just like a bark.
He lost his concentration and tripped over an Aardvark. 

S   
The SLIMY SLIPPERY SERPENT SLIPS SILENTLY underneath the 
 . . . . . SIDEWALK

In the dark where man and beast get eaten by a grumpy old  
 . . . . .  Night Hawk

And little dogs run about and annoy pedestrians with their
 . . . . Barks

And every one will run and hide with the arrival of . . . . . . . . .

(Huge indomitable and fearsome man eating) 

 . . . . Aardvarks.


T
In the TINY TOWNS in  . . . . . .  
THE hills of TRANSYLVANIA
Is a beast THAT drives THE population mad 
And has become a world compulsive mania?
With is sharp pointy TEETH . . . . . . 
Sucking blood in THE dark
Everyone lives in fear of 
THE Vampire Aardvark.

 
Hanging UNDERNEATH UMBRELLAS 
You will find some UGLY fish

Who think that they are bats 
Rather than a battered dish.

They think they are being clever 
Hiding from the multitude of sharks

But hiding in UMBRELLAS 
Means they will be eaten by
Aardvarks.


V
There have been a VERITABLE multitude of beasts
 in the VISION of my VERSE.

But some will think my nonsense poetry
is rather more a curse.
And most will say it is poetry, 
which is full of  . . . . . . . . Impropriety.

Well everyone . . . .  with one exception . . . . . . . . . . . .


The Welsh Aardvark Appreciation Society. 


W
If you live in darkest WALES
You will be used to dragons with scaly scales
That have long and pointed pointy tails
A land WHERE the WIND and rain it never fails

WHICH is WHY
As hard as you might try
You will never spy

An Aardvark . . . . . . . With your beady eye.


X
O dear we have arrived at X
Meaning we must mention the terrible Tyrannosaurus Rex
The fearsome beast from the past doth . . . .Hark
Till it choked to death on a large . . . . . . . . . . Aardvark

Phew made it past the tricky letter . . . . (OK there was not a lot of X’s in that)
Things can now only get (slightly) better . . . . .Maybe?


Y
Why Why Why Why  . . . .I hear you say
Why not Y instead of Why today
And Why have Aardvarks from Z to A.
WHY?
Because Aardvarks you see must have their say

And so as down the alphabet we do transcend
It appears we have now nearly
Reached
The
END

But not quite.

    So I'm assuming you're not going to sue for libel for using your likeness or description thereof, in my latest post? Good.

    1. Well I have a good solicitor who would say that you have just sort of put your foot in it so to speak. . . .

  3. I like your Y picture, perhaps because it is Spring-Y. I am not completel-Y sure whY.

    I am going to guess that tomorrow is Z day. That is fitting as it wiLL be Wednezday. I would feature a fight to the death between a Zebraa and aan Aardvaark.
