Prepare yourself to be flummoxed by higgledy-piggledy gobbledygook.


BEWARE Curmudgeon and Fuddy-Duddy too, 
this story will melt a brainsickle or two. 
(Of course, it's a trOOstory if you chOOse to believe 
all of the frabjous things that you trOOly dOO see.)

Its legs were shadowanomaly flaws,
with tOOO fat boards stuck to its twOOO little fEEEts
squEEEshing metal sticks in its paws,
showing ALL of its tEEEths!



EV

Splashing the top-secretest, 
well-stashed STASH of ALL Stashes!



Earl's Gate 

Blizzfulling along thinkering Loraxian THINKS,
always figgering on biggering and biggering lines,
POWzy POWting and blinking POWraxian blinks,
always sniggering and dodggering  hodgepodggering pines.

ANYTHING can be."

"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope, which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities." - Dr. Seuss



"It seems very pretty," she said when she had finished it, "but it's rather hard to understand!" (You see she didn't like to confess, even to herself that she couldn't make it out at all.) "Somehow it seems to fill my head with ideas - only I don't know exactly what they are!" - Alice (in Wonderland)
