BERTON BRALEY'S POEM
OR ANYWAY You LIKE
(CopyrIght, 1922, NEA Service

In Nonsense Land the trees are blue
Tor red or any other hue
That happens to appeal to you)
And all the scenery is grand;
The mountains stand upon their peaks
And stay that way for weeks and weeks,
While rivers streams and brooks and creeks
Run up the hills in Nonsense Land!
In Nonsense Land the birds are queer,
They shun the airy atmosphere,
And here and there, and there and here,
They burrow holes in desert sand;
The Goodboo Bird. the Spotted Chin,
The Whimdick and the Suedonim
Wear wooden hose on either limb
And live on Whoof, in Nonsense Land.
Then there are animals which range
From Podloffs TO the Fantods strange,
They all have measles and the mango,
An easy fact to understand
When you remember that they live
On quiddle pounded through sieve
Which has flavor fugitive
But loses vigor when it's canned
In Nonsense Land is wealth immense,
For though of course they have no cents
The dollars grow with speed intense
On trees that sprout on every hand,
But all the cash is counterfeit
So no one ever uses 1t,
Which seems particularly tit
To those who live in Nonsense Land.
In Nonsense Land love takes It's course,
Beginning often with divorce,
And then comes marriage then perforce
Comes courtship last-for thus it's planned;
There wisdom is the chief OF crimes
And men are Jailed for II, at times,
And bards write nought but foolish rhymes
(Such rhymes as this) In Nonsense Land!
