A Nicket And A Nukk **A Children's Tale**

.............................................................................
"Read the directions and directly you will be
directed in the right direction."
-Doorknob (*From Alice In Wonderland)
.............................................................................

My Nicket has a Nukk in it,
It's as plain as day can be!
My Nicket has a Nukk in it,
And that's not all right by me.

I have disallowed Nukk's here, and there.
They leave such messes everywhere!
They have left the cupboards almost bare,
And they do not even seem to care.

My Nicket has a Nukk in it,
And it is a fair disgrace,
To have a Nicket with a Nukk
In such a resplendent place!

Where Ivory Towers grace the yard,
And cherry blossoms gently snow,
With such a reverent regard,
They welcome Never-Winds to blow.

My Nicket has a Nukk in it,
A Nukk it does not need.
A wicked Nukk of malcontent,
Of a most unseemly breed.

Oh, my Nicket needs to straighten up,
And not to Nukk around.
It needs to take things seriously
And find some common ground.

It needs to take a 'Nicket' look
Inside my 'No Nukks" picture book.
So I can finally make it clear
That 'Nukks' are not allowed 'round here!

La, lovely and thought-provoking with interesting imagery. A tad intriguing while niggling at something vaguely familiar, elusive yet it flows beautifully with excellent imagery. I enjoyed it.
