Aladamnbama the most watered s... Wait! How about if I use all the meanings of these in a short sentence?
In Iowa this week slimy politicians pretended their humanity (anthropomorphizing) by way of the mindless ramblings (excursives) of surrealistic (Kaufanique) nonsense (jabberwocky) of which the unslimy Iowaians wouldn't or couldn't swallow (dysphagia).
No?![]()
Well then, how about a Christmas Carrol?
a nonsense poem
a language disorder
a rambling speach
a surreal distortion of language
And lastly, the ascription of human traits to a Jabberwock.
Huh?
Oh well, I just don't know and damnit I give up.

Netherlands, the Hague Well, next time when you have sent in your correct answer to try and be the first, you can multiply your chances in the lottery by sending the outcome to us (if others agree too) by PM. Against a small bribe the loot will still be yours.

Netherlands, the Hague Talk of special finds: John Donne, new to me! Sites about him lead back to the luminarium site. Really need a second lifetime to explore all this.
Your la-di-la-di-la riddle is wasted on the likes of me.But thanks for the new 17th cent.metaphysical poets.
