The beautiful #elcarabea
such wonderful plumage
colours to sing for
David Attenborough
spotted two elcarabreas back in forty-two
two lovers entwined
in a jungle in his mind
He was so delighted
he nearly went blind

Beyond Fern Gully,
Elcarabea, desert
Of the kobold tribes.

#SillySeptember #barrash @daveashleypoet.bsky.social

distrusting the tap monkey
frankie hung up the phone
and walked down to the pub
to find albert perched on his favorite stool
nursing another boilermaker
and she shouted albert
if you don’t get off that stool
barrash is the least of your problems

Sweet #Barrash Baloney
did you make it to the shore
or did you drown with all the other stragglers
Did anyone teach you how to swim
or did they place in church in a choir to sing
Perhaps you played cricket
did a googly or two
or were you sent on a mission
to discover the moon
#SillySeptember

Allow me to introduce what the word #Barrash conjured in my mind...

(Though I might change it to Baarash in future versions)

Plopped my butt on a stool
And ordered a drink slapdash
Ate some nuts, like a fool
Plopped my butt on stool
Feeling so cool
Broke out in a barrash
Plopped my butt on a stool
And ordered a drink slapdash

nine bears in the bed
and the little one said,
"skoooff"

Berzerker barrash,
Cheesing ghosts with mighty strokes,
The blades of chaos.

#SillySeptember a made up word to be included.

Today's word is #Barrash

𝘈𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘗𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘈𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘦 with no #flair, a #skooof escapes our tired lungs. Involuntary #nervous tremors shake our burning arms, but we laugh with joy at a day on the water, always #similar, never the same.

#SillySeptember #Skoooff

When Dillinger robbed a bank
He'd shout "23 Skoooff!"
Or was it "Skidoo"?
I can never remember
I read it in a long book once
And you know what they say about writers.

I heard the clatter of the spanner on the floor, then a high-pitched voice cursed, "Oh, #SKOOOF IT!"

I sighed and put my tools down. "Need some help?"

The fairy looked forlornly at the spanner three times her size. "If you please...ugh, I hate being small."

I skoooff down the way
As proof mathematical
That hooves during the day
Make a sloof interestical

September is silly, need proof?
It seems Dave enjoys a good spoof.
Take a look in his mind,
And what do you find?
Silly words like zaffery and skoooff.
