The Rules of Flimple: A funny nonsense poem for kids about quacking cows, cuboid eggs and the bizarre game of Flimple.

The Rules of Flimple

The rules of Flimple

are really simple:

First find a pond

a stream or lake

that’s flapping full

of ducks and drakes

Each time they Quack!

Roll on your back

Flap both your arms

Kick half a leg

Pretend to lay

a *cuboid egg

(*please understand

you will be banned

if you lay eggs

like pyramids

or anything

resembling squids)

When you’ve laid ten

Stand up again

First holler Moo!

Then Crackerjack!

Locate a cow

Teach it to Quack!

But if the cow

exclaims Meow!

or Cluck! or Baa!

or Oink! Bow Wow!

The rules dictate

You’ve lost, you’re out

However though

The rule to know

If your cow Quacks!

it’s really simple

to win the game

you just shout Flimple!
