Diaperstocky

‘Twas brillig, and the square prefolds
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All velcro were the AIOs,
And the home page outgrabe.

Beware the Diaperstock, my wife!
The stuffers that soak, the fronts that snap!
Beware the fluffy mail, and shun
The frumious sleepy kat!

She took her paypal cart in hand:
Long time the all-in-one she sought
So rested she by the Refresh key,
And nakked awhile in thought.

And, as in nakkish thought she sat,
The Diaperstock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the Internet,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The paypal cart went clicker-clack!
She bought it all, and with her haul
She went galumphing back.

And, hast thou bought the Diaperstock?
Come to my arms, my beamish bride!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!
He chortled in his pride.

‘Twas brillig, and the square prefolds
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All velcro were the AIOs,
And the home page outgrabe.
