Gobs of Jibber-Wobby — and other party favors.

It takes a little jabber

To make some jibberish;

Fallen stars,

Late night bars,

Curses …

And a wish.

I make it very often,

And freeze a little bit.

You never know

(As friendships grow)

When you need a whit.

So listen very closely

As I share this now:

A slice of moon,

Some pantaloons,

The nose-ring of a cow.

Mix it very thorough.

Add a drop of dust.

Whisk it more tomorrow;

(Taste it if you must.)

Now go, let’s grow, a batch or two.

A party we shall have!

With gobs of Jibber-Wobby

To share with all our friends.
