On the Outs A Nonsense ABC

Aborigines wander the Outback.*

One’s a cat in a hat. Catch and put out that cat!
We can chat once that cat’s out of sight.

*Notably during their Walkabouts

Don the Drumpf takes his dumps in our outhouse.*
“Are you out,” voters shout, “of your mind?”

Gregarious gnomes seem outgoing.
Often, hermits are outcasts, no doubt.
And ice lollys are fun. (Can ice pops be outdone?

In the US that jury’s still out,
sound decisions outweigh’d by a South KKK’d.
White supremacy’s what they’re about.)

Are not lesbians out of the closet?
Where’d be Lincoln without ‘Honest Abe’?
Does not Lutwidge cry out, “When a boojum’s* about,
let the toves and the mome raths outgrabe?

* A dangerous breed of snark made famous by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson

Nursing nuns by machines are outnumbered,

And the outlook looks grim, since the chances are slim
that nun output improves anymore.
