Have a chat with a flibbertigibbet
at your own peril
once you’re in, I must warn you,
it’s a bottomless barrel
Thoughts & ideas spring to life
then they scatter and stray
yet that tongue keeps on wagging
in complete disarray
then they scatter and stray
yet that tongue keeps on wagging
in complete disarray
So if you’ve no patience
for a circus of thoughts
steer clear of the chatter
quit connecting the dots!
for a circus of thoughts
steer clear of the chatter
quit connecting the dots!

DeleteQuite connecting the dots - it's the most difficult thing to do. Our minds are so overworked.
ReplyDeleteKeeping up with persistent talkers is even more exhausting 😅
DeleteWhat are the origins of this word? Sounds very Irish or Scottish.
