Pass me some more of that gobbledegook please!

A Poem by andrew mitchell

The problem with
gobbledegook
apart from being
a lot of hogwash
even some would say
balderdash -
it had flow,
the imagery stunning,
and in the mix
lacked total understanding
to the point of being
incomprehensible,
unintelligible rubbish
especially when
gobbledegook infiltrated
the mind in a display
of psychedelic thoughts
and there it remained.
Quite maddening and long
as you can see
don’t let it in.

Love the word gobbledegook which my mum uses often to describe someone’s views.

Lol I’m in stitches
Great comic write
My family used this a few times. Too
You don’t hear it so much these days just the over used four letter word used something like this as a verb or adjective going something like
“That is xxxxx up ‘
I wish it was used more your word I mean

That was a fun piece Andrew to read and enjoy. Gobbledegook is a real old fashioned word. It is still used today although not nearly as much as it once was. I use gobbledegook to describe nonsense. There certainly is enough of that round these days.
