The Groogle's Doodle and the Strudel Bugle

***
I put Lewis Carroll, Dr. Seuss, and Shel Silverstein into my mental blender, and this is what came out.
***

A groogle named Dougal made a doodle of a noodle-eating poodle
"Oh, what fine work I've done!" said the groogle
the groogle blew a bugle, the signal for strudel
but even after the groogle blew the strudel bugle
the groogle's servant came without a strudel

"Apologies, my lord Dougal", said the abashed servant 
who had to muddle through a puddle on the double 
"We're out of strudels and I lack the recipe"
At this, the groogle (named Dougal) used Google to find strudel

"Ah ha!" said the droogle named Dougal, "let's take the flagon wagon"
and so the droogle and his servant named Foozle set out for strudel
the flagon wagon stout and sure, for it was a gift from a dragon
thus the droogle named Dougal and his servant named Foozle set out
in the dragon flagon wagon in search of strudel found on Google

"When you see the strudel", said the groogle named Dougal 
to his servant named Foozle, "be sure to blow the strudel bugle"
Blowing the strudel bugle was the only way to scare off the
noodle-eating poodle that the groogle named Dougal had doodled

Their journey was not easy; they had to muddle through a puddle
in the dragon flagon wagon; there was a bungle in the jungle 
when a killer gorilla flotilla from Manilla attacked the groogle
named Dougal and his servant named Foozle just as Foozle spotted
the strudel and blew the strudel bugle from the dragon flagon wagon

a killer gorilla from the Manilla flotilla grabbed a paddle for the battle
that was a jungle bungle and the groogle and Foozle tried to muddle through a puddle
but the puddle paddle battle with the killer gorilla flotilla from Manilla for
the dragon flagon wagon began just as Foozle blew the strudel bugle

It was a raucous melee when entered the fray none other than the noodle-eating poodle
whom the droogle named Dougal had doodled before he Googled for strudel!
For you see, when Foozle blew the strudel bugle, he summoned the noodle-eating poodle
named Kitten Kaboodle to the midst of the dragon flagon wagon puddle paddle battle
with the killer gorilla flotilla from Manilla 

Kitten Kaboodle seized and blew the strudel bugle which signaled all the noodle poodles
to converge on the dragon flagon wagon of the droogle named Dougal and his servant named Foozle
The killer gorilla flotilla from Manilla was about to flee when the poodle named Kitten Kaboodle
offered strudel to them, for that is the custom whenever a noodle poodle hears the call of the strudel bugle

In thanks for the strudel, the droogle named Dougal passed the strudel bugle to the noodle poodle
named Kitten Kaboodle and ended the dragon flagon wagon puddle paddle battle with the killer gorilla flotilla from Manilla 

Once back at home, the groogle named Dougal made another doodle of the noodle poodle named Kitten Kaboodle who now was the keeper of the strudel bugle
