The Jubjub bird (or so I’ve heard)
Is never deterred by a hostile word
So we’ll fight it with guile and we’ll fight it with stealth
And we’ll go out in style, surrounded by wealth
Is never deterred by a hostile word
So we’ll fight it with guile and we’ll fight it with stealth
And we’ll go out in style, surrounded by wealth

That one is actually quite cute!
You're on a roll, you're hitting all of my favorites, first Jim Henson's muppets, and now Lewis Carroll's jubjub. Lewis Carroll is my absolute all time favorite. I'm loving this!
How fun to stop and get a childhood rhyme to play with.
Hello. Cute post:>)You had offered me some advise a few weeks back about blog of note, but I haven't gotten it and think I could use some. Still dishing it??
Guile and stealth have their place
But if the Jubjub bird
Gets the last word
Is there a danger of losing face?
Oh, I am somewhat baffling. :)

David - great job of disguising your rhymes within the half-lines: deterred/bird and guile/style. I could hear the echo as I read it, but it took two reads to find the source. I also like the pacing of the first line - very thoughtful(ish) in tone, and gives us pause as readers.
Cute little poem. Now try some using Quilly's words.
David you are really good at it! And now that I know you really, lol, wrote them, they are even better. Anna :)
