Utter Nonsense A to Z

by Anne Louise Pemberton

A

King on an Ant

Icky, Icky, Foo, Foo
I see a boo-boo.
A king a-mounted on an ant
Passed avenues of arches.

B

Ickey, icky, foo, foo,
I see a boo-boo.
Bulging bulbs with blossoms big
Grew bouncing in the beans.

C

Ickey, icky, foo, foo,
I see a boo-boo.
A captain crushed a can of corn;
A cat showed no concern.

D

Ickey, icky, foo, foo,
I see a boo-boo.
The dogs of summer drank the dip
And dreamt of drool directly.

E

Ickey, icky, foo, foo,
I see a boo-boo.
Every elephant knows to eat
From trees with ears and elbows.

F

Ickey, icky, foo, foo,
I see a boo-boo.
A foxy feline floated by
Staying so firmly a-foot.

G

Ickey, icky, foo, foo,
I see a boo-boo.
Garbage in is garbage out;
The germs go galloping onward.

H

Ickey, icky, foo, foo,
I see a boo-boo.
A hacker hums a hymn at night;
His harddrive hunts for home.

I

Ickey, icky, foo, foo,
I see a boo-boo.
Icky dribbles inching down
Itchy insects invade uninvited.

J

Ickey, icky, foo, foo,
I see a boo-boo.
Jabs of jerky syrup jell
While joyous jazz does jump.

K

Ickey, icky, foo, foo,
I see a boo-boo.
Kittens killing kooky bugs
While kicking in the kitchen.

L

Ickey, icky, foo, foo,
I see a boo-boo.
Lovely lines of lamps along
the Lane where lions lay.

M

Ickey, icky, foo, foo,
I see a boo-boo.
Mountain men menace marching mice
With marvelous mighty muscles.

N

Ickey, icky, foo, foo,
I see a boo-boo.
Nodding nannies notice nothing,
While nuns at noon pick nuts.

O

Ickey, icky, foo, foo,
I see a boo-boo.
Opening operas often flop
Over the opening scene.

P

Ickey, icky, foo, foo,
I see a boo-boo.
Prancing ponies earn a price
Poisoning pretty tunes.

Q

Ickey, icky, foo, foo,
I see a boo-boo
Quakes and quacks will quibble now;
Quarreling over the quarters.

R

Ickey, icky, foo, foo,
I see a boo-boo.
Ready riders rev their rice
While royal royces retire.

S

Ickey, icky, foo, foo,
I see a boo-boo.
Sleeping supers snoring loud
Send their sound to Sussex.

T

Ickey, icky, foo, foo,
I see a boo-boo.
Toppling trees in Trenton fall
as troops tramp by and by.

U

Ickey, icky, foo, foo,
I see a boo-boo.
Under udders milk does fall
Ugly uncles catch it.

V

Ickey, icky, foo, foo,
I see a boo-boo.
Visiting vampires ride the Volga
Vacuumed by the victor.

W

Ickey, icky, foo, foo,
I see a boo-boo.
When the whistle went astray,
Wild women wandered widely.

X

Ickey, icky, foo, foo,
I see a boo-boo.
X-rays showed the X-men
Exiting from existance.

Y

Ickey, icky, foo, foo,
I see a boo-boo
Yammering youngsters played all day
with yards of yellow yarn.

Z

Ickey, icky, foo, foo,
I see a boo-boo.
Zingy zebras left the zoo
While zealously zipping their zits.

Ickey, icky, foo, foo,
I see a boo-boo.
