Chepe's Epic
from the eighth century A.M.
by Bard Jeffrey T. Cours
Sleepy Chepe, through clock chiming,
slept on soundly, senseless dreaming.
Jeff soon entered in a towel,
moldy blotter moist and mildewed,
summoned Chepe snoring softly.
Snoring louder, sinus roaring,
rolled he over, rumbling rudely,
clutched the blanket, rough and brutely,
like a bullfrog, croaking loudly.
Senseless Chepe, strong in sleeping.
Called Jeff louder, lightly tapping
Chepe's shoulder. Super sleeper,
rumbling rudely, rolled back over.
Took Jeff towel, told he Chepe:
"Stop your sleeping, senseless dreaming.
Open eyes, to morn awaken.
Or feel with force fearsome towel:
mighty blotter, moist and mildewed."
Slept on Chepe, snoring softly.
Swung Jeff towel strong and smelly
down on Chepe (he was dozing).
Moldy blotter, moist and mildewed,
made him messy, washed with moisture.
Soggy Chepe stopped his sleeping,
sat up sharply, sputtered loudly.
Smelled he towel, scent of mildew --
mighty blotter made bed messy --
looked at towel, lying limpid
on his pillow, over-scented.
Got he up then, greatly grossed-out.
Took he towel, threw it downward,
went to bathroom, wandering woozy,
cleaned hands quickly, clearing mildew.
Woke he up then, when he smelled them.
Took he shower, thanks to towel
weighed with water, Chepe-waker,
and to mildew, fermented mold.
Threat of towel thrilled right through him:
kept him going, class attending.
Clock awoke him ever after.
