Strange DVD

In the alternate reality DVD she married the frantic pink panther who grew tomatoes in the snow field next to the wavering lasagne lillies.
Life was wonderful except for his dreadful snow mobile music salutations which she considered grounds for much aggravation but not sufficient grounds for divorce. So she wept in the dark shadows.

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. Please, again, note this is a quivel it does not pretend to be a poem or even poetic drivel.( Because Quilly had no new words this week we dug these out of the achieves)

Life Changing Wife

His acrasia ruined his life
Filled it with constant strife
He adimpleated with his pain
Then he would loudly complain
Like a aeipathy it grew
Not allowing a life new
Lost his big amanuensis job
Resulting in many a sob
A Confabulation changed his life
Took him out of strife
And got him a wife
