Will the gel and zefferdonne live in peace? (Strong Verse magazine) |
Beneath the Stanid Sky Beneath the pale and stanid sky With naptures fixed and true, The solemn zefferdonne supply A most sumpeltious view. The moistome gels all gasp and swoon And dream of menchel honeymoon The moistome gels The moistome gels Give purpose to the vast platoon. The clear and strillant trumpets play To battle, zefferdonne! But weeping moistome gels must stay And strive to carry on. The burden shared by zeff and gel From Jonoch’s stair to gates of Hell The burden shared The burden shared As each bids other fond farewell. For seven nacks, the zeffs are gone, For seven hellish nacks, And then return, debbish and drawn, With rukaas cross their backs. The waiting gels, moistome no more Can hardly bear to see the corps. The waiting gels The waiting gels Pretending all is as before. The distance grown ‘tween gel and zeff Will dwindle over time. But twice the seven nacks won’t greff The scars it left behind. And all will pray to Jonoch’s ears An everlasting end to tears. And all will pray And all will pray That dovinch reign and banish fears. * Trijan Refrain (extended): Four 9-line stanzas (total: 36 lines).
