Brungencrungencrob

The Wreck of the Brungencrungencrob by Lewis Carol.
One of my favourite poems, I love the Onomatopoeia.
(A word that imitates or suggests the source of the sound that it describes).

The brundub thunder snarched above
The swislembiferous sea
And drimbled mugfrubs boofkertunked
And swunklers crunked in glee

It was the Brungencrungencrob
That shoddled in the blast
The mugfrubs fierce had blooked the screw
And swandelcranked the mast

The fleerded few that held the deck
Were streeweedled with fright
For oh the dreadful swankterbrosh
Was skirpling through the night

They saw the unkterspronks at play
Their souls in horror sunk
The unkterspronks, the swankterbrosh
The hooteljumptibunk

And as the stykled ship went down
The swankterbrosh drew neigh
And morgled them by twos and threes
A glumbrious way to die

He slorpulgised the lot and then
The hooteljumptibunk
Came at him with a sterkrious yell
And horched him with a crunk

The brundub thunder snarched above
The swislembiferous sea
And drimbled mugfrubs boofkertunked
And swunklers crunked in glee
