This is one of the earliest morsels of Winter’s nonsense writing found in original manuscript form. It was written in 1973 and reads as follows:

     CHIN UP, SONNY was an athlete’s foot, accordion he feel like a heel. Hooha mourning time he chomples his cheapers and choost then hee make wake. With an agility defying description, not to mention discretion, he skipped rocks across the ceiling , over to the east wall, finally deciding he would like to have breakfast in bed, bounding (without regard to the bounty hunters) back to hiss still warm bed, bringing an end to his spry potato patter around the room.

     Hee toined up hiss electric blanket to fix breakfast in bed; but SUDDENRYE from the green corner

     :”Sir sonny, son of Uncle Bicuspid, The Incumbent, Hue live in icecoolation in the arab desert: One Neville gets hungried in the desert due to the sand which is there. –It came to bee so on account of the fact that the mealings of Ham were bred and mustered there.”

     Boumbarassassa hee jumps suddenly from the bed and runs with the lamp between his legs.

     Again and again, but alad, to no a gains, the time wham butterfly and hee was worming cold. Chinny choomps upon hiss wooden crotches and pickaxed a thousand intriguing questulumums up the mountain to lie between his teeth in the sun. –Hee was sunning his crotches so to spleen; as it wham.
