Have you seen the plogger? I put it down, just there. But now it’s disappeared. It really isn’t fair. I need to mend the riptitaff, it really is a bother because I just can’t do it if I can’t find my plogger! I thought I saw it crawling along the quilsadore, and that’s where I once found it when it escaped before. But no, it isn’t there now but I found the arkadoo which will come in very handy when I go to clean the loo. But if you find my plogger, I hope you’ll let me know then I can fix the riptitaff before we get some snow.

Hehehehe! You can't beat a bit of nonsense, especially after you've just watched the news, which is so depressing right now. Who needs reality when you can have nonsense instead!!
Nice one! Thank yuo!

Nice bit of Seussery - most amusing. Of course, to a Scot 'riptitaff' means 'stole it'. Stole what, eh?! ;-)
Nice one.

Great fun: and importantly drawing attention to the fact that fun in playing with words is built in to our language.
I guess these words are often regional. From Norfolk/Suffolk therefore (though probably not exclusive)

Mind be a bit of challenge to make these rhyme or scan!

Fun, bouyant poem full of words to get addicted to: like 'plogger'! 'Arkadoo' now he/she/it sounds a bit too exotic to be cleaning the loo, don't you think?! Good fun, nikki

I might be tempted to call it 'Plogger'...

Thanks, glad you all enjoyed it. It's nice to have a laugh now and then, this poetry lark can get a bit too serious sometimes.

Poems, you're right about 'this poetry lark.' Thanks for the smile. I set myself an exercise a few weeks ago - set the dictionary on my knee, closed my eyes and picked out a dozen words at random. I came across the resulting poem yesterday and didn't recognise it as mine - thought it was something I'd printed out to comment on. Then the penny dropped. Weird experience.
Nell.
