THE Ziggerdorgles Attack!!

Hello readers, today I am sharing a poem I wrote that I was inspired by an old poem called “THE JABBERWOCKY”. The Jabberwocky is an ancient poem written in 1871 by Lewis Carrol. There is a certain rhyme scheme that makes the poem flow.  There are some nonsensical words that I made up. There is a key below as well. Hope you enjoy it!

Ziggerdorgles - (Noun) A very bright and colorful monster(s). [4 syllables].

Flibberjabs - (Noun) Mac 'n' Cheese in a bowl holding Chips Ahoy with french fry arms. [3 syllables].

Bubblorter- (Noun/ Verb) A water balloon holding a Stanley cup. [2 syllables]
