Higger ang Jigger poem – Feb. 6th 2021

Higger and Jigger

There was once a Higger And with that Higger was a Jigger Hither-down the tree willow Their little heads lie asleep upon their pillow What sights they now see So much so that this is told feinderweld the evershine Their friends splatterlic “I wish that was me!” “noth is it only us!” Higger and Jigger proclaimed So that everyone feinderweld the evershine was tentledained “Nonsense this is!” Splatterliked the friends of Higger and of Jigger “It is nothing but a hither-up wrong tale of qigger!” Higger and Jigger sorrowed for noth thought their tale was true Then, with their heads a rest upon their pillow, one and two They leapt into Delderfron and Glitenglade, Forever frolicking upon the tale that was made.
