Slitherly Fruppery
As soon as anchors learn to float
Upon a shredding sun,
And when all stairs are circular
To raise an errant run,
When builder's bricks are far too thick
To sing when they are done,
Then must I sadly soon submit,
Without one summing pun.

I like the structure and rhythm of this, but I must admit I'm lost. Taken literally, I have no idea what's happening. Given the last line, it suggests maybe this is nonsense verse, which is fine, but in case it's a tad more than that, I went back through looking for puns and couldn't identify any, so if they're present, they're going over my head.

This is a specimen of the sort of nonsense verse that may tumble forth when one has forgotten about the event all day and only remembered to write at 3 AM. I took care of the sounds and mostly let the sense take care of itself, searching for assonances and failing as described to come up with a closing pun that would justify things. Thank you for your kind words!
