Some curious words
From childhood days
May have some wondering
About those past ways!

Say piffle to such nonsense
When you hear a doozy of a tale

A great hullabaloo of a commotion
Arises when bamboozled… I’ve been tricked!

We skedaddle and leave quickly
When faced with hogwash nonsense!

Don’t lollygag or waste any time
Listening to gobbledygook and meaningless talk

Take care not to get turned back widdershins
Things sometimes do go cattywampus

Good words to take note of
They’re just the right fit
For frustrating or interesting moments
… Perfect for interjecting a bit of wit!
