I enjoy exploring the genre of nonsense and absurd. I was at the pond watching maidenflies. It all started there
I just have seen a maidenfly
Hover o’er the water
Not a sound it did make
I then thought, should I oughta?
Hear a sound?….
Then I saw another
Hover o’er the ground
Making such a racket
(A freight-train sorta sound)
I then began to wonder was I
Coming apart at seam
Was I going bonkers or
Was it just a dream?
Lewis Carroll wrote some bonkers stuff .
Take the trilling caroler below. Have you ever heard of someone trilling? No. Bonkers Lewis. My last line would have capped it off nicely. Lewis thinks it’s a great line. He’s kicking himself…
HE trilled a carol fresh and free, He laughed aloud for very glee: There came a breeze from off the sea: It passed athwart the glooming flat - It fanned his forehead as he sat - It lightly bore away his hat, He muttered under breath 'oh shat!'

I’m glad Ingrid you like
A bit of nonsense too
Without it we’d be drab and dreary
