I’ve always wanted to use the word ‘flibbertigibbet’ in a poem but you got there first, a sassy little rhyming poem to boot; well done !

I washed up many a time to Sound of Music “a flibbertigibbet, a willow-the-wisp, a clown”. π It is a great word. And it takes a great mind to fit its ungainliness in a limerick! π

LOL. I didn’t see it until I was about 14 or maybe older. We had the soundtrack on CD so it was interesting to see how the plot fitted around the songs. I remember finding bits of it surprisingly scary. π€ i thought it was a kids’ movie. Maybe it is. LOL. I don’t pride myself on my scary movie toughness.

Oh Yes. Since having kids, my range of films has narrowed down to the lightest, crappiest films you can imagine. I want escapism, not to be challenged or informed. But since chemo, even those light crappy movies I struggle to get through. But I still do books, audio books and podcasts.
