Flimflam,the limerick
Flimflam’s an under used word,
As most people think it’s absurd.
But it enriches our tongue
It sings its own song.
It’s the lightest word I’ve ever heard.
But some people won’t say flimflam
Just ‘cos it rhymes with goddam.
So never say pluck,
Or you’re down on your luck.
Or the saintly will send you to spam.
I must admit I am surprised
That flimflam in a limerick’s disguised
My unconscious mind
Always manages to find
A rhyme for most words we’ve devised
How to dress
They sa the French are the most stylish women
And we should emulate them
But given the lack of time,it might be better to follow
Seven simple rules
1.Get washed and wash your hair
2 Get some decent yet bright underwear
3 Never wear anything too small
4 Never wear anything gigantically big
5.Keep warm in winter with a dashing scarf [ and your clothes of course]
6.Wear a big hat in the summer plus sunscreen
7.Never wear anything that stops you from running ,climbing over fences,riding a bike ot leaping up in joy.
See, it’s easy!!
