This has been a surprise. Lately I am so busy that I barely open my laptop... Well, thanks loads to Frau Sue for choosing me as the winner. For this week I have picked up a really cool word: GOBBLEDYGOOK LET�S SEE WHAT YOU COME UP WITH!!  |

A gook is a crazy person (kook)...a gobb is a big mass of chewed bubblegum (at least 10 sticks of gum chewed at the same time)...ledy is an alternative form of leaden meaning heavy)...So, gobbledygook is is how you feel if you were crazy enough to chew a huge wad of gum that is so big that your whole mouth feels as heavy as lead...Also known as "leadmouth".

GOBBLEDYGOOK is the strange title of a beautiful poem :
Go soap bubbles higher and higher
Dye the sky with a rainbow
Go and hook the sunbeams
and the moonlight too
Then go back to the beloved
Year Gondola looked at
by so many masks...
Author ??? unfortunately unknown... |

Glutenfree is correct insofar as it is a title. The Gobbledygook is the Dalai Lama�s butler.
Edit: Sorry, I got mixed up. The Gobbledygook is Prince Charles�s toothpaste squeezer. |
