Tuning dials backlit, glowing Hilversum polished walnut.
Cocoa Ovaltine, far away announcers Luxembourg.

Lavender wax warmth rising, hot dust, record on.
Up click drop scrape rumble, Matt Monro,
On days like these, We're gonna change the world.

Hum valves Light Programme Saturday Club,
Bernard Hermann and the NDO.
Coal fire, black print, fretwork, loose cloth ripples,
Fadeout, lights out, tick-tock wall clock cool down, sleep valves,

Sleep child, sleep tight night night.
Sgt. Baker started talkin’ with a Bullhorn in his hand.

It must be done,
It must be done,
So out of the window he stuck his bum.

A Policeman in his usual place,
Mistook it for a Burglar's face,
"Come down, come down, come down" he cried'...
Whalopy Dollopy! Right in the eye.

Allotments

Lifting through the broken clouds there shot
A searching beam of golden sunset-shine.
It swept the town allotments, plot by plot,
And all the digging clerks became divine -
Stood up like heroes with their spades of brass
Turning the ore that made the realms of Spain!
So shone they for a moment. Then, alas!
The cloud-rift closed; and they were clerks again.

Richard Church (1893-1972)

I must go down to the sea again,
to the wonderful sea and sky.
I left my vest and socks there.
I wonder if they're dry?

The world looks so different after learning science. For example, trees are made of air, primarily. When they are burned, they go back to air, and in their flaming heat is released the flaming heat of the Sun which was bound in to convert air into tree.

Brilliant! You've neatly condensed the entire Edmundo Ros thread into ten lines!

One One was a Race Horse,
Two Two was one too.
One One won a horse race.

I shoot the Hippopotamus
With bullets made of platinum,
Because if I use leaden ones
His hide is sure to flatten 'em...

Higher up the Mountain Greener grows the Grass,
I saw an Elephant sliding on his...
Ask no questions tell no lies,
I saw a Monkey doing up his...
Flies are a nuisance, bee's are a pest,
Roundtree's Cocoa is the best.

There was a young fellow named Hyde...
...who fell down a privy, and died...
His unfortunate brother...
...then fell down another,
And now, they're interred, side-by-side

Oh freddled gruntbuggly,
Thy micturitions are to me,
As plurdled gabbleblotchits,
On a lurgid bee,
That mordiously hath blurted out,
Its earted jurtles,
Into a rancid festering confectious organ squealer. [drowned out by moaning and screaming]
Now the jurpling slayjid agrocrustles,
Are slurping hagrilly up the axlegrurts,
And living glupules frart and slipulate,
Like jowling meated liverslime,
Groop, I implore thee, my foonting turling dromes,
And hooptiously drangle me,
With crinkly bindlewurdles,
Or else I shall rend thee in the gobberwarts with my blurglecruncheon,
See if I don't.

Much to my surprise, it's taken nine posts for the first Limerick to appear.

Double triode burning bright
In the amp of my delight
What forgotten Blackburn eye
Framed thy perfect symmetry?
