Gooblegook Poem by Shirley Harrison

Ah the word gooblegook,

what could it mean?

A great poet

let it out the magnificent bag of words

and I, as a fellow poet

well, I couldn't help but bring it

to the grand table to discuss

maybe it's a word that is so perfect

that none can define it?

maybe it's a word that doesn't need to be defined?

having said that

I'm very curious to know it's definition

but then again

if I knew what it meant

would it take away the power?

of this fabulous word?

I'm leaving this one on the table for now...

after all

Pandora was famous for being curious

and look what happened to her

she had a meeting with the devil himself

and lived the rest of her life in regret,

regret that she should never have been so curios?
