Analysis of Nonsense Verse 1
Catterpillar chatting with a Bolivian cat,
Suddenly appeared one caucasian bat,
Discussed they all,
And gone to shopping mall,
To buy one high rated Malayasian hat.
Hat was made of a fine pine bark,
It had one ancient Egyptian mark ,
When they all saw,
Opened their jaw,
Cat and bat and catterpillar all started bark.
