An Omni-Omni Perambul-amble Doodle
I can't keep my hands still. Maybe it's because I used to be a smoker, maybe it's the result of some other bad habit. Either way, it gives me a problem in meetings, and I often have to attend some very long meetings. So to combat this need to move my hands I doodle.
When I start to doodle I often have no idea what is going to materialise, I just start my pen moving on the paper and something starts to appear.
That's how I got this creature, my Omni-Omni. I was in a meeting last week, listening, participating, but I felt the need to move my hands, well it was a VERY long meeting, so I doodled on my notepad. I had no idea what was coming - I wasn't expecting a parrot, or a monkey, or those tiny creatures hiding in the spiky bushes, it just appeared along with the Omni-Omni.
I hope that you like it.
An Omni-Omni Perambul-amble
In the land of Shumba Shumbo Shoo
As ride for green furred primates,
A full half foot above the ground,
The Omni-Omni levitates.
And in his tail he holds a net
For everyone to see,
And catches fish out of the air,
A floating fisher he.
Then on his head a parasol
All hanging down with corks,
Stepping on sky to save his feet,
The Omni-Omni walks.
Upon his shade a parrot sits,
From his foot a spider dangles,
Just slightly off the boiling sand,
The Omni perambul-ambles.
As flapperwings flop and elebugs hum,
In shimmery blue around,
That O-O rather gracefully,
Strolls off - above the ground.

You're lucky. With my artistic ability I just have to sit and listen.
ReplyDeleteThe guardian says doodling is good for the concentration.
Fantastic drawing and poem BTW

ReplyDeletethat is really amazing, if only all meetings produce such a wonderful result! It felt like reading a Rudyard Kipling!
BRILLIANT. You deserve to be published especially as you could illustrate your own creations.
