AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Cozzling Time

Pic from Gallery Photo ~ by Bobo Lavorgna

Friday 5 ~ caprussule mozzle cack skrey glureon
~
'Tis now the very cozzling time of night,
When blinkries yark and shells implode in flate
Glureon to the world: I sprout mulden sighs
And do such skitter business as the skrey
Would quake to frizz. So limb close my lover.
O heart, lose not thy cushy; do not shafter
The soul of caprussule to splast and splard:
Let me be not spatural, but mozzle:
I will cack daggers, and carousel none;
My loll and soul in this be systemite;
How in my words goever I be slent
~
(With apologies to Hamlet's Soliloquy: Tis now the very witching time of night ~ 3.2.380-391)

Gemma,
I'm sure the Bard would be delighted to be paraphrased thusly! ;)

Gemma, this is great stuff. I love it. So many phrases that I like I won't even bother reciting them all here again. Wow. I agree with Watermaid. You've made a whole language here. Spectacular. Have a nice day.
