Sheriff Abadaba and Deputy Fluff
Sheriff Abadaba and Deputy Fluff
(Nonsense poem: should be read out loud with gusto)
Published in Raven Chronicles, Vol. 21, 2015, a journal of art, literature, and the spoken word.
Cucamonga, there’s a brouhaha
in the Chimichonga Tavern, Abadaba.
Cut the hoopla, Fluff, and hand me my bazooka.
Let’s go to the:
CONGO ROOM
CONGO ROOM
CHIMICHONGA CONGO ROOM.
Gigolo Gumbo Kumquat,
miniature King Kong, squeezes
Porgy Doormouse.
Kewpie doll, shrieks Porgy.
VERITGO
WHERE’D HE GO?
VERITGO
WHERE’D HE GO?
VERTIGO
Ding dong, drop your long johns, Gigolo.
We’re puttin’ the patchwork panacea
on you, shouts the Sheriff.
Humbug, Abadaba.
You and that flea-flickin’ Fluff
can take this Doormouse and
shove him up your:
CONGO ROOM
CONGO ROOM
CHIMICHONGA CONGO ROOM.
