Poem #13: Guys I Know

Guys I Know

I know a man whose name is JackCracker.
He insists you don't call him that,
be reminded he was the one who shotBuck.
He lives with his brothers JackFlap and JackLumber
who rollbank all day. Their boyTom eats stringham
and fishjelly all day in his manchair.
His friend BillyHill claims to be a mindmaster,
While his cousin BillDuck stays out late
drinking shots of manscotch at the tenderbar.
His friend DaleGlen sings for a wagonband
called Devildare. He goes by the stage name, warmLuke.
You can find them all if you rideover a stonemile
to a town called FortFrank.


This was one of the most fun poems i've had to write this semester. This piece was inspired by the Jabberwocky poem. *I'll link it at the bottom of the page.*

The assignment, called Sense and Non-Sense, called for the writer to turn around compound words and use them in a poem.

See if you can find them and make sense of this piece of non-sense.
