Poem a Day for 26 April 2012: Washing the hog

I’m writing a poem every day in April for National Poetry Writing Month.

I have nothing to say about today’s. I’m off now to make myself a cup of tea.

Washing the hog

I schlob to gim the bingly scun
to glom a thringy-dee
you denry on the dingly klun
it’s vandik after shree.

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspSo hupty warr me throsey dill
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspso hapty war me slees
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspit’s clip the ban an sunky swill
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspan fawl the glarmy tees.

But och the shoal you cangley wase
nor did a lanti low
for nichty ster you nuchty pase
nor wid me tawnie go.

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspSo hupty warr me throsey dill
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspso hapty war me slees
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspit’s clip the ban an sunky swill
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspan fawl the glarmy tees.

Sumty now when tangley air
a drimpy weelin eye
you an me a glawnin tare
an n’er to drimpin wy.

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspSo hupty warr me throsey dill
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspso hapty war me slees
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspit’s clip the ban an sunky swill
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspan fawl the glarmy tees.

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspSo hupty warr me throsey dill
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspso hapty war me slees
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspit’s clip the ban an sunky swill
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspan fawl the glarmy tees.
