Tymes (an homage to James Joyce)A Poem by Eric PudalovThis is a nonsense verse poem inspired by James Joyce's Finnegans Wake.
Wot tymes are a-thondrin'?
Thar be scarbuds and rarknubs ov me heads! Litr'ry livs livin' in grosshats? Sytee froks a-flondrin' Ovar, undr, sedwez, en th' Stritwez, arvanees, and heywez!
I gets tymes to me sorf so rarly En doorcymble, en th' nayt's So piecetrankillake that ey Cont immersimate that none o' Thars'll change.
The sounds a-ringin' like chinglychinglechanglechonglelingle- Arongagongadongasongasixpence-a wrylowhippensoftabuttermilk! Nayd to by me grimlicks op in Th' furmery merket, just op In th' farristlypote o th' land, From whence th' ladyloves hammer Th' dulcimers and th' smokemen lit Thar pilopipes a blinklin' In th' nighting!
Oy remember when we'd flimmer flammer
Sporelayts a-twonklin' in th' brysenberry Ayvenin' - day flooshed oopoon me Flesh weth raynspets layk de Skeins ov sammersneks.
Whar doonesquivel got me modness Inmostabull dat blonkemate Me hed so rippleake?
Moooooooost oh ben Th' laser jic aycid die ethel maid En the madrashattaras. 'Twas revelled t'me in a melly flood Drem, coolors and soonds a-skayppin' 'joompin' everyways!! Ey wroot the litr'ry misterpayce En drinkin', academately, usin' The verkabullery, the gremmer, The spayllin!
