55 with a Raven side

Friday 55 Flash Fiction is brought to you by G-man (Mr Knowitall). The idea is you write a story in exactly 55 words. If you want to take part pop over and let G-man know when you've posted your 55.
With a nod to Raven and Quilly
( This week's Raven's words were really, really, really horrible -33 words)
Every week a nice lady named Raven gives us fifteen words and phrases to use in a story. Here we try to use those words and phrases in a flash 55.This week's words are: Tibetan sky, symbols, won’t you come home Bill Baily, shadow figures, brain cortex, practice makes perfect, life, start of school, lavender, chow down, mental hospital, falling leaves, apple cider, packing crates, clues

Hallucinations

In the Falling Leaves Mental Hospital he could see shadow figures holding life symbols beneath a lavender Tibetan sky while he sang won't you come home Bill Bailey again as practice makes perfect. His apple cider on packing crates gave clues to his brain cortex on the start of school and when to chow down.

And Now for something completely different. And we mean completely different.
First there is poetry- written well by a few experts. You know it when you see it.

Then there is poetic drivel- written by many. Lots of fun and often punny.

Then below them all is quivel.
The following is quivel.
It in no way even pretends to be poetry or drivel.
Instead it is something that looks like a poem, uses at least three of Quilly’s words.
In this case it is also a flash 55 quivel since it has eleven lines with exactly five words to a line. Click on the special words for definitions. Please, again, note this is a quivel it does not pretend to be a poem or even poetic drivel.

Finding a Wife

The mariturient man was odd
Wanted us to play God.
Find a woman for him
Isangelous and so very trim
Not the openly ossifragant type
One not prone to gripe
One he could not obstrigillate
This surely his intended fate
Should prefer a ruricolous life
With an absence of strife
This to be perfect wife
