On the Ning Nang Nong by Spike Milligan

On the Ning Nang Nong
Where the Cows go Bong!
and the monkeys all say BOO!
There's a Nong Nang Ning
Where the trees go Ping!
And the tea pots jibber jabber joo.
On the Nong Ning Nang
All the mice go Clang
And you just can't catch 'em when they do!
So its Ning Nang Nong
Cows go Bong!
Nong Nang Ning
Trees go ping
Nong Ning Nang
The mice go Clang
What a noisy place to belong
is the Ning Nang Ning Nang Nong!!



This could quite possibly be the most best poem ever, due to it's complete lack of sense. Trees definitely do not go ping. Mice most certainly do not go clang. Cows never go bong, and monkeys cannot make a boo noise. I'm pretty sure this guy was tripping on some LSD when he wrote this. But there could be a deeper meaning hidden in this nonsense. I think that the author is trying to say that mankind, or society as a whole, has come to the point where the senses are overwhelmed with noises and images that don't make any sense. These images or any other man made sensory input has taken man to the point where eveything is just wrong.
