Ning Nang Nong

Today’s TDC asks us to:

Find a poem you love. Memorise it. Recite it. Create an audio file so we can all enjoy your poem.

I immediately thought about a Spike Milligan poem – dad used to read them to us at bedtime so I already know quite a few. I decided to try this tongue twister.

On the Ning Nang Nong
On the Ning Nang Nong
Where the Cows go Bong!
and the monkeys all say BOO!
There’s a Nong Nang Ning
Where the trees go Ping!
And the tea pots jibber jabber joo.
On the Nong Ning Nang
All the mice go Clang
And you just can’t catch ’em when they do!
So its Ning Nang Nong
Cows go Bong!
Nong Nang Ning
Trees go ping
Nong Ning Nang
The mice go Clang
What a noisy place to belong
is the Ning Nang Ning Nang Nong!!

Blackout Frankenpoem

This Daily Create just keeps growing. Today’s TDC asks us to go to a site created by John and

Use tdc5110 Random Frankenstein poem to create a poem and then black it out.

I got this poem:

It was a tranquil spotthat seemed to smile
While it hums its little song in the beautiful sunshine,
For half the summer long.
Watch till dusty Death has piled
Of the wide earth it flew,
Death from the o’erbrimming deep;
And what you meant
And here it linger’dhere my heart might lie;
And companiableand bare herself so fair,
The creator of the nations,
And last of allthy greedy self consum’d,
And thy sad floor an altarfor ’twas trod,

Alastor: Or, the Spirit of Solitude by Percy Bysshe Shelley, The Beautiful Sun by William Topaz McGonagall, Peggy’s the Lady of the Hall by John Clare, Fragment: ‘When a Lover Clasps His Fairest’ by Percy Bysshe Shelley, The Daemon of the World by Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lines Written Among the Euganean Hills by Percy Bysshe Shelley, After You Speak by Edward Thomas, Lines Written Beneath an Elm in the Churchyard of Harrow by George Gordon, Lord Byron, The Canterbury Tales.

Half dusty earth linger’d bare
Last sad self

Rubbish Art

I am procrastinating today as I have a writing deadline, so messing around with TDC5116. First I downloaded a pic of Lacey cat that I had taken yesterday and printed it as a 3.5 x 5 pic. Then I got out my lightbox and drew around the outline of the image in pencil. I added whiskers, eyes and feet to make it look a bit more like rubbish art.

Ta da!

Wandering through the desert looking for a home Freda the Friendly Ghost came upon an oasis. As she looked around in its nooks and crannies she found a shimmering cloak. Maybe this will help me to keep warm, she whispered. As she spoke the cloak lifted up like a magic carpet and she knew, if she stepped onto it, she would be taken to her new home.
