Totally Ninging

Wednesday, September 5th, 2007

Spike Milligan’s brilliant Ning Nang Nong:

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 it’s 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!

Which was came top in a poll of the UK’s favourite poems according to this 1998 BBC article.
