JAMMERWOCKY!

I wrote this about a year and a half ago, but I thought I'd resurrect it for the blog. :)

JAMMERWOCKY.
(with apologies to Lewis Carroll)

‘Twas Pivot high upon her stops
Did block with booty large and round:
All pack wheels tried to move on past
And pace the rink with rolling sound.

“Beware the Jammerwock, slow girl!
Her pace, her strength, her quiet wheels!
Beware her speed, and hit her hard.
Smack tough in places she will feel!”

The Blocker took her pointy hips:
Long time the speedy foe she sought—
She skated fast and looked behind
To prep herself for battle wrought.

And as she rolled with eyes behind,
The Jammerwock, with skates of flame,
Came speeding through the surly pack,
And bellowed as she came!

One point! Two points! And then the hips
Came jutting towards that speedy foe
The Blocker smacked the girl so hard
Suicide seating lost some toes.

“You massacred the Jammerwock?”
Asked Coach. “Come, let me slap your hands!
Wonderous play! Hulloh! Hullay!”
The Blocker yelped with joy unplanned.

‘Twas Pivot high upon her stops
Did block with booty large and round:
All pack wheels tried to move on past
And pace the rink with rolling sound.





If anyone could take down a jammerwocky, it would be this gal!
