What the …
Leonie Parker © 2010
I like to scribble poetry and like to know my rhyme
is ev’rything it should be so I’m checking all the time.
I use an online diction’ry from out of USA
and I am quite bewildered by the things they sometimes say.
For instance I went looking for a word to rhyme with boobs.
They had a few to chose from. There was lube’s and tubes and cubes.
But then I spied a word that I had never seen before
so I went searching for a definition (what a chore).
The dictionary said they didn’t have a definition
even though they were the ones who made it an addition
to the list of rhyming words suggested on their site
so I went off to Google thinking that would solve my plight.
Google told me that the word might be a proper noun,
and sent me off to Wiki but my ‘puter then shut down.
I think maybe it burned out something somewhere in it’s tubes,
so I’m still sitting, wondering … what the hell’s galoob’s.
..... Actually it is a toy manufacturer in the states, apparently?
