The wafting melbatoast
Itches my beak.
The zippy fruit,
The greasy meat.
Britches slide up my stilts.

My tummy's jactation,
A yearn to nibble.
The provocation,
Indeed, does tickle
The appetite I've built.

On a jentacular table,
The banquet sat.
My bitter foible.
The nosegay, a hat,
The cloth is a kilt.

No, don't go away!
The caterwaul inside
Beseeches you nay.
Don't let my food hide
And my fantasy wilt!

I open my lids
And look around.
My foods and liquids
Cannot be found.
My skull begins to tilt.

The author's comments:
This was an assignment for the Creative Writing class I'm in. We were supposed to be inspired by the poem "Jabberwocky", and it was just supposed to be fun to read. All the words I used are real. If it's not obvious, the narrator sees a beautiful breakfast, and it turns out it's just a dream.
