Hoi @Rascal
Light verse has a very very special place in the hearts of the Dutch.
There was a time, Some 40 years ago, that I met THE promotor of Dutch higgeldy piggeldies/olleke bollekes every first Tuesday of the month.

So i must have written hundreds of them. Most of them as part of lyrics for songs, almost all of them in Dutch.
And a few in English. One I remember where ‘sustainabiliy’ was the key word. But looking for this one is impossible.

The very long and very impressive artistic life of Carole king, began with ‘O Neil’. An answersong to O Carol by Neil Sedaka.
With that in mind I decided to write an olleke bolleke to you. An answer song or thereabouts.

Donald Trump wat is dat
Nog niet genoeg gehad
Tijd voor wat vrije tijd
Dat komt goed uit

Wordt geen misdaad geschuwd
Naar de afgrond geduwd
Wanneer is het genoeg
B’donder de kluit

What I like about it, is that it’s full of letters/pronounciations the English language doesn’t have.
I love your poem to pieces. Thank you for posting!
Kind regards, Gus

Love the comically playfulness of the write.

Delightful piece in every way.Quite the opposite of the orange buffoon.
His ascent to POTUS surely must put to bed the notion of an all caring,all loving,all knowing God.

FUCK OFF!

FUCK OFF!

Well, I shudder to think I may be rewarded for my comments by a triple play on words if I include the two previous pos(t)ers, but I do like your HIGGLEDY PIGGLEDY

Frankly, I don’t recall what or who or where or when or how long I studied, but it wasn’t from anything on this site.
By the way, I was experimenting with different rhyme schemes and came up with one of my own you might try and see if you like it. I haven’t given it a name, but maybe, “Maddening” might fit. The piece is up here, Terpsickore: an Experiment in Rhyme” https://starsrite.com/uncategorized/terpsickore-an-experiment-in-rhyme/ . I misspelled Terpsickore on purpose because of all the fits it gave me, and it did seem like a dance, so …. If you like it, maybe you can come up with a better name for the rhyme scheme, something more technical. I’m not much of a technician, nor am I that well “formally” educated. I’ve learned mostly from just looking at what other folks have done and trying stuff that I find interesting or just to see what works. My degree is from Hard Knocks U, Richard. I did attend the U. of Texas, for a bit, as a Drama major.
