The Land of Heck

[Delta40]

Whatever mice may say of men
their feet be bigger than a hen's
and if a wife decides to peck
they all run off to the Land of Heck
and lay an egg if they so desire
behind a wall of barbiefried wire
while a roostress crows her discontent
he skedaddles and frabbles along a bent
of too many papers, food and TV
till she bristles up her fistles and cries why me?
His face turns into flabberygastorous
as she krills and shrills you blubbery bastarous!
You said I do and all you does
is play with your pecker and make me fuss!
But whatever mice may say of men
their feet be bigger than a hen's
He wriggles himself free of the marital trap
from wedding to beheading his mind goes Snap!
So he nevers does hear a word that she spidz
coz the Land of Heck is where he hidz.

I feel you are MM inspired here Delta and that is no bad thing.

This here's pritty gurshdurned splendiferous, Delta Honey. Wouldn't change a "think" (except an itsy bitsy 'postrophe in "hen's" -- possessive to stand in for "that of a hen.")

[MystyrMystyry]

I like it - good invention and use of portmanteau which also fits the angle and subject

Quite a menagerie you've got there Delta

[PrinceMyshkin]

This is as brilliant as it is funny and boiling over with inventiveness!!

If any poem deserves to be read with a broad Scots accent this is the one -
