An element of absurdity in nonsense rhymes

An element of absurdity in nonsense rhymes :

In my previous postings, I have told you that I am an ardent lover of nonsense rhymes or verses. These funny creations not only give me immense pleasure, but they transport me to another world full of imaginations! Ever since my childhood days, I have admired Edward Lear for his limericks and funny poems, I held Lewis Carroll for "Jabberwocky" and other poems and the legendary Sukumar Ray for his wonderful creations.

The element of absurdity is easily recognizable in nonsense rhymes and they follow no definite rule of logic. There a horse can fly, a giraffe can sing, the wise owls can forecast future or a miser can spend a million. No definite clues, no specific pattern, no logical conclusion and yet the nonsense rhymes can leave their  permanent imprint on the reader's minds. And backed by the support of good illustrations or cartoons, these poems have the power to bring smile to those, who are generally known to be non-smiling people.

This 107th Blog posting with 6390 Nos. page-view worldwide contains eight (8) of my nonsense rhymes with illustrations and a picture by me in the beginning. Please click the "mouse" on each individual piece to see it enlarged & magnified. Your comments and criticisms are always welcome.

Happy viewing...
