I had to write a poem in the fashion of "Jabberwocky" so this is more for entertainment than anything. Enjoy!

Old Men Dream

The night eats the shore in claptrap form
and out of the sea stalks a Slitherwake
tail, moonlight dust along its mouth forlorns
hunger for a KuneClop or River Jake.

Somewhere down the ebbing shoreline
a dark breeze whirls the water west
while Boy awakes near parting tides
rubbing eyes on the winking moon.

Scrumct scrant the Slitherwake talks
to the bone fish digging in blue sand
Scrumpt scrant the Slitherwake stalks
an otherly smell, loathing beautiful man.

Boy gazes at Creeper Underwaloos
skipping their glowing green antenna
feet, zigzagging trails electric light shows
on sea water and starlight splendor.

He never saw the Slitherwake's plunge
from the Otherside, gaping endless deep
a hunger for Boy's heart to jump-plumit
into the cavernous prison, then to sleep.

Yet, unspeakable fortune an invisible
hand snatched Boy to the ebony plain
where planets wink, then sunlight pools
drip and gather till Boy is home again.
