Undefined Object 8731
Once I saw that the shape of the thing
Was so odd that it made my mind ring,
I seized it and stuffed it
And bapped it and cuffed it
Then set it to swing on a spring!

Ah, a limerick. The strictest definition uses amphibrachs, whereas you have anapests in the longer lines (but still amphibrachs in the short ones), but it's a loose definition, and a lot of limericks break the meter here and there.

Kind of a bit of nonsense verse, as the whole point is that we never have the first idea what this object might be or even look like. The title kind of hints it may be an SCP-like thing whose function actually is to stymie understanding. Cute.
