@Færd That doesn't follow for me because you're not comparing things saying : 'The cheeseburgers were free of the pants no sooner than I could call child pest control.'
@Robusto well if you drunk actual soup bowls full of coffee back then with no milk, no wonder you're so agitated still. Actually, scratch that. You are a wonder. You should've long dropped dead from that.
@Mitch I understand it as a hyperbolic comparison of order: my opening the door didn't happen sooner than their clutching at my pants, but at the same time.
Nonsense verse is a form of nonsense literature usually employing strong prosodic elements like rhythm and rhyme. It is whimsical and humorous in tone and employs some of the techniques of nonsense literature.
Limericks are probably the best known form of nonsense verse, although they tend nowadays to be used for straightforward humour, rather than having a nonsensical effect.
Among writers in English noted for nonsense verse are Edward Lear, Lewis Carroll, Mervyn Peake, Sukumar Ray, Edward Gorey, Colin West, Dr. Seuss, and Spike Milligan. The Martian Poets and Ivor Cutler are considered by some...

جَفَنگیات به اشعار یا گفتههایی میگویند که معنی درستی نداشته باشند و معمولاً عمداً معنی مهمل و عجیبی دارند که بیشتر برای خنداندن و جالب بودن سر هم شدهاست.

در زبان انگلیسی برخی از نوشتههای دادائیستی را از جمله جفنگیات بشمار میآورند.

This is really just something I've never given much thought to. And the very helpful Wikipedia page ^ just summaries the first paragraph of the English version
The cage fell from the sky and did not break The carriage beeps and the frog faint The cage fell from the sky and did not break Otherwise I am the same as mine Such was Yusuf Ender Zulikha Allah, or Allah, Allah, Allah, and Allah
میرزا حسین مشرف اصفهانی از شاعران دوره صفویه بود. او مباشر معاملات دیوانی بوده و گفته میشود طبع شوخی داشتهاست و به گفتن اشعار مهمل و بیمعنی شهرت یافته بود.مشرف اصفهانی مدعی شد که میتواند پنج مثنوی به وزن خمسه نظامی و خمسهٔامیرخسرو دهلوی به نظم درآورد بهگونهای که حتی یک بیت آن معنی نداشته باشد. مقرر شد که اگر از عهدهٔ این کار بربیاید به ازای هر بیت مثقالی سیم ناب دریافت کند و اگر بیتی معنی داشت برای هر بیتی یک دندان از او بکنند و بر مغزش بکوبند. پس از اتمام مثنویها به سه بیت او معنی بستند و سه تا از دندانهایش را کندند و بر سرش کوفتند و بقیه را به وعده وفا کردند.برخی از آن ابیات بر این ترتیب...
@Cerberus No. You just have a book about it hidden slipped in between the biography of the British prime ministers of the 18th century and a picture book of door knobs of Venice.
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ wait, which verse, the one about Allah Allah Allah and Allah, the one about 'The bottom of the calf ran and drank'', or the that one about the bartender and wine which is really about sex?
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ Long time no see here too. Been thinkin' about you lately since I've seen a bunch of E.L.L. topics on Meta. I'm mostly hanging out at the maid cafe chatroom these days.
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ I didn't know you were a mod there. I just remember that we discussed it years ago. Anyway, I hate working the queues for the mostpart, other than the editing queue. They seem designed to make you a slave to the system. I just vote to close as I deem fit while looking at questions I normally encounter.
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ Oh, I see. I probably should've noticed your username is still black come to think of it. Anyway, yeah, Stack Exchange is rather weird in that respect. I've never seen another website where users are simply granted moderation powers for participation.
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ Yeah, that's kind of how I'm starting to feel about some things, and it's not just the queues, but I'd rather not complain too much right now.
