Have you seen a twirlblast so mickle in its size,

or pulled back straggly elflocks from getting in your eyes?

I wonder if you’ve chorked inside the house when rain has eased,

or been a slugabed all day just doing as you pleased?

Have you grubbled frantically and found the thing you lost,

or wolde for something day and night no matter what it cost?

Have you met a snollygloster? Don’t believe a word,

or heard a tarradiddle that you knew was just absurd? 

Have you been jargogled by the things that I have said?

Then better use more modern words to tell your tale instead!
