The Fall of Marduk Thunderfist

ATTENTION YE READERS!


This is a poem I wrote a long time ago. I have a lot of nonsense words, interpret those as you will. Thus I am classifying it as nonsense poetry. It is to be read in an Irish or Scottish accent for best results.

The Fall of Marduk Thunderfist
By JW Ball

In Frockentime my dear
They slordeled our flocks of rode
They reigned in torible sneer
And the moniring banks had flowed.

Vendar Frockenschlammer
That iron fist of woe
Didst Marduk of amour
In battle fight and so
The florting cries aloud,
"My love, hast thou been strowned?"
But yet in shatter found,
The body of a king.

As Marduk Thunderfist
In torible torror stood,
From whence, yea, from berist!
That flongen traitor would
End good Marduk's short life.
Cry, "Banter and abroad,
Our bloodish fields didst nod,"
For Marduk swornen fell.

Dead he bled on the bulgy green,
The battle brought him dead,
His body still unseen,
Nor yet his scarlet head.
And forthwith the tumneys
Crowed, "Crockle and a fell,"
Marduk was in the dell,
And smitten lay he there.

The Prossian armies won;
The Flangish tide was beat,
And the battle, it was done.
A shepherd's sheep did bleat,
And so Marduk was found:
"Thou didst with ardor fight;
Carry him home tonight."
And the cock didst woery gow-bray.

In Frockentime my dear
They slordeled our flocks of rode
They reigned in torible sneer
O'er Marduk's old abode.

  1. Wow.
    I really like this one. It feels like a Celtic poem and the nonsense words fit in with the entire thing.

    1. Thanks! I especially liked coming up with the phrase "torible sneer".
