Runny Babbit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Runny Babbit : A Billy Sook is the title of the last children's book by Shel Silverstein. A work in progress for the better part of 20 years, the book was published posthumously in 2005. The book is largely comprised of spoonerisms in rhyming verse; e.g.:

Runny Babbit knearned to lit

And made a swat and heater,

And now he sadly will admit

He bight have done it metter."

Way down in the green woods where all the animals play

They do things and they say things in a different sort of way

Instead of saying "Purple hat"

They say, "Hurple pat"

So if you say, "Lets bead a rook"

Thats as billy as can see.
