NaPoWriMo 2019, Day 24

Today's prompt is to write a poem inspired by a reference book, such as an encyclopedia, a dictionary, or a thesaurus.  I had fun looking up words and names and finding rhymes, even though this is goofy and doesn't make a lot of sense.

Poetry Potpourri

Tallulah

made lots of moolah

dancing the hula

to the beat of a boula

played by Petula

while her friend Beulah

passed the hat.

The Laughing Buddha

placed a houdah

on a great barracuda

and rode from Barbuda

to Bermuda

while sharing some gouda

with his pet rat.

A jackal

began to cackle

at a grackle

who used a block and tackle

to hoist a tabernacle

onto the roof of a ramshackle

shack.

She looked quite cute

while tooting her flute

in her birthday suit.

Her pet malamute

remained  still and mute

as did her newt,

but her owl began to hoot

while perched upon a yak.

Queen Neffertiti

went to Tahiti

with her sweetie,

whose name was Petey.

The weather was sleety,

so they stayed in and ate Wheaties

while writing graffiti

on their hotel wall.

He was born in Rhodesia

but moved to Tunisia,

where he developed amnesia,

then moved to Polynesia

by way of Indonesia,

where he contracted synaesthesia

while under general anesthesia,

so he drank milk of magnesia

which helped not at all. - Jeff Barnes
