Jabber-Walk Algebra

What’s the best smarmy-snarky
portmanteau word?
Could be sparky,

but there’s no seal emoji—
just one for a sea otter.
Or, the best smarmy-snarky

portmanteau word could be smarty,
favored of the daughter
of Zeus and Circe.

It’s not malarkey,
even though it’s totally absurd:
it’s sparky

and smarty in oneno blarney.
Each day I walk around
and sing skilanky songs that put the sharky

Cerberus doggy
to peaceful slumber.
The best smarmy-snarky
portmanteau word is smurple-dhaze.
