100 word challenge for grown ups week 7

Having seen lots of people having a go at writing poems for this weekly challenge, I thought I would have a go. We were given three words which have been dropped from the dictionary; growlery, brabble and  foozle. I only managed to get two of them in . I thought the sound of them would work well with a mix of nonsense words. It scans OK but not sure that poetry is my forte. Good to be out of the comfort zone though :S

The strycoth

The boilig craves gumbled

As the mighty strycoth appeared

From the depths of his growlery

All smithery and affeared.

His fortis opponent stood waiting

With his tropious dagger in hand,

“Fear me you floggerscum strycoth

Let us fight, here and now, beast to man!”

With a  mighty crunchdinger the strycoth

Reared up til his horns scratched  the sky;

A deafening  hubdubba-huldulla

Shrotcottled the man by and by.

“Enough of this brabble  you slumflinger!”

Roared  the man  as he reached for his blade.

With trebendium strength, speed and slashing

The strycoth, at last, had been slayed.

I enjoyed writing this. I have just read it to my 12 YO son; "It's a bit weird , Mum." was his reaction. Well, I think I agree with him there. I coudn't get started on a story with these so tried something completely different! 

Now I really must do something about getting started on that list of things to do before term starts. Before that though, wallpaper needs to be stripped from kitchen so enough prevaricating and time for action...
