Ah the word gooblegook,
what could it mean?
A great poet
let it out the magnificent bag of words
and I, as a fellow poet
well, I couldn't help but bring it
to the grand table to discuss
maybe it's a word that is so perfect
that none can define it?
maybe it's a word that doesn't need to be defined?
having said that
I'm very curious to know it's definition
but then again
if I knew what it meant
would it take away the power?
of this fabulous word?
I'm leaving this one on the table for now...
after all
Pandora was famous for being curious
and look what happened to her
she had a meeting with the devil himself
and lived the rest of her life in regret,
regret that she should never have been so curios?

Curiosity killed the cat, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be attempted, a little bit.
I'm putting you forward for this.
Now, gobbledegook. This is what I give the tax man every year, and every year he sends me a pandora box in return.
LOL you really do have the most lovely life Paul 🤣 let's all pay the taxman gooblegook lol I'm learning a lot today. 🌹
Teddy love neologisms and at one time or another all words were such. Shakespeare famous for inventing words. This one, if we mean gobbledygook was supposedly invented by Maury Maverik chairman of the U.S. smaller War Plants Corporation in a memo in 1944 saying it was meaningless language like a turkey sound. Good write Teddy
Dearest sorrenbarret I saw it too but it's actually spelt different so I don't know although I trust you, I do like Paul's idea 💡 lol thank you dear friend 🌹
Most welcome Teddy yea he well could be right
HAHA! Teddy, I think Rory has officially committed a crime against the dictionary, and I'm entirely in favor of it! 😂 Some words are simply too much fun to be subjected to proper linguistic supervision. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
lol thank you dearest Tristan. 🌹
Dear, Teddy,
I knew exactly what it ment but now I forget, so, I'll leave it at that. Lol
Fond regards,
Tony.
